Perception, interaction and accessibility are core issues in human-computer interaction (HCI) ...

CONT

The modes of interaction with systems are becoming evermore varied and sophisticated. Many of our research projects exploit the visual analysis of the end-user in order to improve human-machine interaction. The investigation of gaze and visual attention, the identification of movements, the tracking of facial muscular movements and the recognition of facial expressions are exploited to better comprehend the user's intention in order to supply it with a more user-friendly system.

OBS

When studying the conveyance of information between humans and machines, there is a distinction to be observed among three closely related concepts: "communication," which is the unidirectional transmission of a message; "interaction," which is a type of bidirectional communication, but not necessarily oral; and "dialogue," which is a verbal interaction between two active participants.

OBS

human-computer interaction; human-machine interaction; man-machine interaction; man-computer interaction: not to be confused with "human-machine communication" or "human-machine dialogue."

OBS

human-computer interaction; HCI; human-machine interaction: designations validated by Canadian subject-field experts from Concordia University, Dalhousie University, Laval University and Microsoft Canada.

CONT

L'interaction homme-machine (IHM) est une science pluridisciplinaire (psychologie, informatique, graphisme, linguistique, ergonomie, anthropologie et sociologie) qui s'intéresse à l'étude des phénomènes liés à la conception, l'évaluation et la mise en œuvre de systèmes interactifs pour l'usage humain [...]

OBS

Lorsqu'on étudie le transfert d'information entre les humains et les machines, il importe de faire une distinction entre trois notions étroitement liées : la «communication», qui est la transmission unidirectionnelle d'un message; l'«interaction», qui est une communication bidirectionnelle, mais pas nécessairement verbale; et le «dialogue», qui est une interaction verbale entre deux participants actifs.

OBS

interaction homme-machine; interaction humain-machine; interaction personne-machine : ne pas confondre avec «communication homme-machine» ni avec «dialogue homme-machine».

OBS

interaction humain-machine; interaction personne-machine : désignations validées par des spécialistes canadiens de l'Université Concordia, de l'Université Dalhousie, de l'Université Laval et de Microsoft Canada.

CONT

Intuitivamente, vemos que los aspectos visuales que empleamos en la comunicación entre las personas, como el reconocimiento de la identidad, la edad, la postura, la dirección de la mirada y nuestros gestos, deberían ser los elementos a emplear en la interacción humano-máquina, ya que éstos constituyen la forma natural con la que nos comunicamos. Es por esto que, aunque también se consideran interfaces por voz y por tacto, las más estudiadas son las que emplean la visión.

OBS

Al estudiar la transferencia de información entre los humanos y las máquinas, es importante distinguir tres conceptos estrechamente relacionados: la "comunicación", que es la transmisión unidireccional de un mensaje; la "interacción", que es una comunicación bidireccional sin ser necesariamente oral; y el "diálogo", que es una interacción oral entre dos participantes activos.

OBS

interacción humano-máquina; interacción hombre-máquina; interacción persona-ordenador: no confundir con "comunicación humano-máquina" ni con "diálogo humano-máquina".

Subject field(s)
  • The Eye

CONT

Typical eye gaze tracking systems track a user's gaze through optical systems such as cameras.

OBS

eye gaze: data validated by Canadian subject-field experts from École Polytechnique de Montréal, MasterpieceVR and McGill University.

Le système peut [...] s'adapter à l'utilisateur en captant la direction de son regard ou bien en adaptant les images générées au point de vue de l'observateur.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Ojo
  • Colaboración con la OMPI
CONT

Un área de interés (AOI) es una región o elemento de una pantalla que permite a los investigadores medir la cantidad de atención que un usuario dedica sobre una porción exacta definida con precisión. Varios componentes del movimiento del ojo se pueden medir utilizando AOI, entre ellos, la primera mirada a un AOI o la frecuencia de miradas.

CONT

Head tracking is often used to identify a user's location or the direction of their gaze; head tracking can be combined with eye tracking for this latter application.
