17. The use of glasses during registration into a low-cost eye tracking device under different lighting conditions
© 2017 IEEE. It is known that the use of glasses can hamper the quality and speed of user registration into eye-tracking devices. Studies have been done in which the performances of various eye-tracking devices were compared, typically under ideal viewing angles, with the user sitting behind a display under a fixed lighting condition. Here we investigated the influence of the use of glasses on the quality and time of user registration into a low-cost eye-tracking device under various lighting conditions. Furthermore, we compared the use of glasses on registration within the same group of participants. Participants with prescription glasses were asked to register into the eye-tracking device both with and without their glasses, if possible, and users without prescription glasses or with contact lenses were also asked to register without glasses or with replica, nonprescription glasses. The present results showed indeed that the use of glasses negatively influenced registration quality and time - significantly here, however, only when registration was performed under artificial lighting. Under natural lighting, the difference in registration quality and speed did not reach significance, but bordered on significance. A follow-up measurement confirmed these results, and suggested that calibration with glasses can improve when participants register under 'ideal' viewing angles for their particular viewing position..
18. Measurement of viewing distances and angles for eye tracking under different lighting conditions
© and Eye Tribe©). The results showed that the minimum and maximum viewing limit of the Tobii EyeX© did not vary significantly with different lighting conditions, and neither did the viewing angle range. The maximum viewing distance of the Eye Tribe© was significantly different between two conditions of artificial lighting, although the average difference was just 1 cm. The lowest viewing angle that allowed registration into the Eye Tribe© system also differed significantly between the two artificial lighting conditions, but here too the average angle difference was small (0.63°). Taken together, the results show that the performance of the two low- cost eye trackers tested here is robust enough under different conditions of illuminance and luminance for registration into the system. © 2017 IEEE. Eye tracking can be used for eye-gaze-based authentication in public settings, such as for registration on personal computers and automated teller machines. In this study, we conducted a series of measurements with low-cost eyetracking devices to assess the feasibility of their use in such settings. We investigated the devices' minimum and maximum viewing distance limits as well as viewing angle range. Both these parameters were tested under three different lighting conditions. The eye-tracking devices used in the measurements were among the most cost-effective devices commercially available today (Tobii EyeX.

Schaffner, Filippo Aureli, Shoji Kawamura, Polymorphism and adaptation of primate colour vision, Evolutionary Biology: Mechanisms and Trends, 10.1007/978-3-642-30425-5_13, pp.225-241, 2013.06, Opsins provide an excellent model system for studying evolutionary interconnections at genetic, phenotypic and behavioural levels. Primates have evolved a unique ability for trichromatic colour vision from a dichromatic mammalian ancestor. This was accomplished via allelic differentiation (e.g. most New World monkeys) or gene duplication (e.g. Old World primates) of the middle to long-wavelength sensitive (M/LWS) opsin gene. However, questions remain regarding the behavioural adaptations of primate trichromacy. Allelic differentiation of the M/LWS opsins results in extensive colour vision variability in New World monkeys, where trichromats and dichromats are found in the same breeding population, enabling us to directly compare visual performances among different colour vision phenotypes. Thus, New World monkeys can serve as an excellent model to understand and evaluate the adaptive significance of primate trichromacy in a behavioural context. In this chapter, we summarise recent findings on colour vision evolution in vertebrates, with special emphasis on primates, and introduce our genetic and behavioural study on primate colour vision polymorphism and adaptation..
