  • Eye tracking is the process of measuring either the point of gaze (where one is looking) or the motion of an eye relative to the head.
  • An eye tracker is a device for measuring eye positions and eye movement. Eye trackers are used in research on the visual system, in psychology, in psycholinguistics, marketing, as an input device for human-computer interaction, and in product design. There are a number of methods for measuring eye movement. The most popular variant uses video images from which the eye position is extracted. Other methods use search coils or are based on the electrooculogram.
  • Eye trackers measure rotations of the eye in one of several ways, but principally they fall into three categories: (i) measurement of the movement of an object (normally, a special contact lens) attached to the eye, (ii) optical tracking without direct contact to the eye, and (iii) measurement of electric potentials using electrodes placed around the eyes.
  • Eye-attached tracking The first type uses an attachment to the eye, such as a special contact lens with an embedded mirror or magnetic field sensor, and the movement of the attachment is measured with the assumption that it does not slip significantly as the eye rotates. Measurements with tight fitting contact lenses have provided extremely sensitive recordings of eye movement, and magnetic search coils are the method of choice for researchers studying the dynamics and underlying physiology of eye movement. It allows the measurement of eye movement in horizontal, vertical and torsion directions.
  • Optical tracking An eye-tracking head-mounted display. Each eye has an LED light source (gold-color metal) on the side of the display lens, and a camera under the display lens.
  • the second broad category uses some non-contact, optical method for measuring eye motion. Light, typically infrared, is reflected from the eye and sensed by a video camera or some other specially designed optical sensor. The information is then analyzed to extract eye rotation from changes in reflections. Video-based eye trackers typically use the corneal reflection (the first Purkinje image) and the center of the pupil as features to track over time.
  • a more sensitive type of eye tracker uses reflections from the front of the cornea (first Purkinje image) and the back of the lens (fourth Purkinje image) as features to track.
  • a still more sensitive method of tracking is to image features from inside the eye, such as the retinal blood vessels, and follow these features as the eye rotates.
  • Optical methods particularly those based on video recording, are widely used for gaze tracking and are favored for being non-invasive and inexpensive.
  • the most widely used current designs are video-based eye trackers.
  • a camera focuses on one or both eyes and records their movement as the viewer looks at some kind of stimulus.
  • Most modern eye-trackers use the center of the pupil and infrared / near-infrared non-collimated light to create corneal reflections (CR).
  • the vector between the pupil center and the corneal reflections can be used to compute the point of regard on surface or the gaze direction.
  • a simple calibration procedure of the individual is usually needed before using the eye tracker.
  • the proximity sensor is common on most smart-phones, the ones that have a touchscreen. This is because the primary function of a proximity sensor is to disable accidental touch events. The most common scenario being- The ear coming in contact with the screen and generating touch events, while on a call.
  • Proximity Sensor is interrupt based (NOT polling). This means that we get a proximity event only when the proximity changes (either NEAR to FAR or FAR to NEAR).
  • Gyroscope sensor helps in identifying rate of rotation around the x, y and z axis. It's needed in VR (virtual reality). Accelerometer sensor identifies acceleration force along the x, y and z axis (including gravity). Needed to measure any motion inputs like games. Proximity sensor is used to disable accidental touch events. The most common scenario is the ear coming in contact with the screen, while on a call. Compass sensor is a magnetometer which measures the strength and direction of magnetic fields. Accelerometers in mobile phones are used to detect the orientation of the phone. The gyroscope, or gyro for short, adds an additional dimension to the information supplied by the accelerometer by tracking rotation or twist.
  • An accelerometer measures linear acceleration of movement, while a gyro on the other hand measures the angular rotational velocity. Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but will not be able to resolve its lateral orientation or tilt during that movement accurately unless a gyro is there to fill in that info.
  • Object recognition is a technology in the field of computer vision for finding and identifying objects in an image or video sequence. Humans recognize a multitude of objects in images with little effort, despite the fact that the image of the objects may vary somewhat in different viewpoints, in many different sizes and scales or even when they are translated or rotated. Objects can even be recognized when they are partially obstructed from view. Object recognition is a process for identifying a specific object in a digital image or video. Object recognition algorithms rely on matching, learning, or pattern recognition algorithms using appearance-based or feature-based techniques. Face detection is a computer technology being used in a variety of applications that identifies human faces in digital images. Face detection also refers to the psychological process by which humans locate and attend to faces in a visual scene.
  • Object detection is a computer technology related to computer vision and image processing that deals with detecting instances of semantic objects of a certain class (such as humans, buildings, or cars) in digital images and videos.
  • Well -researched domains of object detection include face detection and pedestrian detection.
  • Object detection has applications in many areas of computer vision, including image retrieval and video surveillance. It is used in face detection and face recognition. It is also used in tracking objects, for example tracking a ball during a football match, tracking movement of a cricket bat, tracking a person in a video.
  • Optical character recognition is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo (for example the text on signs and billboards in a landscape photo) or from subtitle text superimposed on an image (for example from a television broadcast). It is widely used as a form of information entry from printed paper data records, whether passport documents, invoices, bank statements, computerized receipts, business cards, mail, printouts of static-data, or any suitable documentation.
  • OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
  • Computer vision is an interdisciplinary field that deals with how computers can be made to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. From the perspective of engineering, it seeks to automate tasks that the human visual system can do.
  • Computer vision tasks include methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing and understanding digital images, and in general, deal with the extraction of high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical or symbolic information, e.g., in the forms of decisions.
  • Understanding in this context means the transformation of visual images (the input of the retina) into descriptions of the world that can interface with other thought processes and elicit appropriate action.
  • This image understanding can be seen as the disentangling of symbolic information from image data using models constructed with the aid of geometry, physics, statistics, and learning theory.
  • computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images.
  • the image data can take many forms, such as video sequences, views from multiple cameras, or multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner.
  • computer vision seeks to apply its theories and models for the construction of computer vision systems.
  • Sub-domains of computer vision include scene reconstruction, event detection, video tracking, object recognition, object pose estimation, learning, indexing, motion estimation, and image restoration.
  • SR speech recognition
  • ASR automatic speech recognition
  • STT speech to text
  • Some SR systems use "training” (also called “enrollment") where an individual speaker reads text or isolated vocabulary into the system. The system analyzes the person's specific voice and uses it to fine-tune the recognition of that person's speech, resulting in increased accuracy.
  • Systems that do not use training are called “speaker independent” systems. Systems that use training are called “speaker dependent”.
  • Speech recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialing (e.g. "Call home"), call routing (e.g. "I would like to make a collect call"), domotic appliance control, search (e.g. find a podcast where particular words were spoken), simple data entry (e.g., entering a credit card number), preparation of structured documents (e.g. a radiology report), speech-to- text processing (e.g., word processors or emails), and aircraft (usually termed Direct Voice Input).
  • voice recognition or speaker identification refers to identifying the speaker, rather than what they are saying. Recognizing the speaker can simplify the task of translating speech in systems that have been trained on a specific person's voice or it can be used to authenticate or verify the identity of a speaker as part of a security process.
  • a barcode is an optical, machine-readable, representation of data; the data usually describes something about the object that carries the barcode.
  • barcodes systematically represented data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (ID).
  • 2D codes were developed, using rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions, usually called barcodes although they do not use bars as such. Barcodes originally were scanned by special optical scanners called barcode readers. Later applications software became available for devices that could read images, such as smartphones with cameras.
  • QR code abbreviated from Quick Response Code
  • QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used.
  • the QR code system became popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes.
  • Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, and general marketing.
  • a QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device such as a camera, and processed using Reed-Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately interpreted. The required data are then extracted from patterns that are present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.
  • ontology is a formal naming and definition of the types, properties, and interrelationships of the entities that really or fundamentally exist for a particular domain of discourse. It is thus a practical application of philosophical ontology, with taxonomy.
  • the core meaning within computer science is a model for describing the world that consists of a set of types, properties, and relationship types. There is also generally an expectation that the features of the model in an ontology should closely resemble the real world (related to the object).
  • Common components of ontologies include: Individuals-Instances or objects (the basic or "ground level” objects), Classes-Sets, collections, concepts, classes in programming, types of objects, or kinds of things, Attributes- Aspects, properties, features, characteristics, or parameters that objects (and classes) can have, Relations- Ways in which classes and individuals can be related to one another, Function terms- Complex structures formed from certain relations that can be used in place of an individual term in a statement, Restrictions- Formally stated descriptions of what must be true in order for some assertion to be accepted as input, Rules-Statements in the form of an if-then (antecedent-consequent) sentence that describe the logical inferences that can be drawn from an assertion in a particular form, Axioms-Assertions (including rules) in a logical form that together comprise the overall theory that the ontology describes in its domain of application, Events- The changing of attributes or relations.
  • a domain ontology (or domain-specific ontology) represents concepts which belong to part of the world. Particular meanings of terms applied to that domain are provided by domain ontology. For example, the word card has many different meanings. An ontology about the domain of poker would model the "playing card” meaning of the word, while an ontology about the domain of computer hardware would model the "punched card” and "video card” meanings.
  • a geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area. A geo-fence could be dynamically generated— as in a radius around a store or point location, or a geo-fence can be a predefined set of boundaries, like school attendance zones or neighborhood boundaries.
  • geo-fencing The use of a geo-fence is called geo-fencing, and one example of usage involves a location- aware device of a location-based service (LBS) user entering or exiting a geo-fence. This activity could trigger an alert to the device's user as well as messaging to the geo-fence operator. This info, which could contain the location of the device, could be sent to a mobile telephone or an email account. Geo-fencing, used with child location services, can notify parents if a child leaves a designated area. Geo-fencing used with locationized firearms can allow those firearms to fire only in locations where their firing is permitted, thereby making them unable to be used elsewhere. Geo-fencing is critical to telematics.
  • LBS location-based service
  • geo-fencing is used by the human resource department to monitor employees working in special locations especially those doing field works. Using a geofencing tool, an employee is allowed to log his attendance using a GPS-enabled device when within a designated perimeter. Other applications include sending an alert if a vehicle is stolen and notifying rangers when wildlife stray into farmland. Geofencing, in a security strategy model, provides security to wireless local area networks.
  • Geo-fencing is a feature in a software program that uses the global positioning system (GPS) or radio frequency identification (RFID) to define geographical boundaries.
  • GPS global positioning system
  • RFID radio frequency identification
  • a geofence is a virtual barrier. Programs that incorporate geo-fencing allow an administrator to set up triggers so when a device enters (or exits) the boundaries defined by the administrator, a text message or email alert is sent.
  • Many geo-fencing applications incorporate Google Earth, allowing administrators to define boundaries on top of a satellite view of a specific geographical area.
  • Geo-fencing has many uses including: Fleet management- e.g. When a truck driver breaks from his route, the dispatcher receives an alert.
  • Human resource management - e.g. An employee smart card will send an alert to security if an employee attempts to enter an unauthorized area.
  • Compliance management - e.g. Network logs record geo-fence crossings to document the proper use of devices and their compliance with established rules.
  • Marketing - e.g. A restaurant can trigger a text message with the day's specials to an opt-in customer when the customer enters a defined geographical area.
  • Asset management - e.g. An RFID tag on a pallet can send an alert if the pallet is removed from the warehouse without authorization.
  • Law enforcement - e.g. An ankle bracelet can alert authorities if an individual under house arrest leaves the premises.
  • network-based geofencing uses carrier-grade location data to determine where SMS subscribers are located.” If the user has opted in to receive SMS alerts, they will receive a text message alert as soon as they enter the geofence range. As always, users have the ability to opt-out or stop the alerts at any time.
  • Beacons can achieve the same goal as app-based geofencing without invading anyone's privacy or using a lot of data. They can't pinpoint the user's exact location on a map like a geofence can, but they can still send signals when it's triggered by certain events (like entering or exiting the beacon's signal, or getting within a certain distance of the beacon)— and they can determine approximately how close the user is to the beacon, down to a few inches. Best of all, because beacons rely on bluetooth technology, they hardly use any data and won't affect the user's battery life.

  • Geo-fencing taking an action when a user enters or exits a geographic area
  • Geo-awareness customizing and localizing the user experience based on rough approximation of user location, often used in browsers
  • Augmented reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one's current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation is conventionally in real time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable.
  • advanced AR technology e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition
  • Information about the environment and its objects is overlaid on the real world.
  • This information can be virtual or real, e.g. seeing other real sensed or measured information such as electromagnetic radio waves overlaid in exact alignment with where they actually are in space.
  • Augmented reality brings out the components of the digital world into a person's perceived real world.
  • One example is an AR Helmet for construction workers which displays information about the construction sites.
  • Hardware components for augmented reality are: processor, display, sensors and input devices.
  • Modern mobile computing devices like smartphones and tablet computers contain these elements which often include a camera and MEMS sensors such as accelerometer, GPS, and solid state compass, making them suitable AR platforms.
  • Augmented Reality rendering including optical projection systems, monitors, hand held devices, and display systems worn on the human body.
  • AR displays can be rendered on devices resembling eyeglasses. Versions include eyewear that employ cameras to intercept the real world view and re-display its augmented view through the eye pieces and devices in which the AR imagery is projected through or reflected off the surfaces of the eyewear lens pieces.
  • Modern mobile augmented-reality systems use one or more of the following tracking technologies: digital cameras and/or other optical sensors, accelerometers, GPS, gyroscopes, solid state compasses, RFID and wireless sensors. These technologies offer varying levels of accuracy and precision. Most important is the position and orientation of the user's head. Tracking the user's hand(s) or a handheld input device can provide a 6DOF interaction technique
  • Techniques include speech recognition systems that translate a user's spoken words into computer instructions and gesture recognition systems that can interpret a user's body movements by visual detection or from sensors embedded in a peripheral device such as a wand, stylus, pointer, glove or other body wear.

  • the computer analyzes the sensed visual and other data to synthesize and position augmentations.
  • a key measure of AR systems is how realistically they integrate augmentations with the real world.
  • the software must derive real world coordinates, independent from the camera, from camera images. That process is called image registration which uses different methods of computer vision, mostly related to video tracking.
  • Many computer vision methods of augmented reality are inherited from visual odometry. Usually those methods consist of two parts.
  • First stage can use feature detection methods like corner detection, blob detection, edge detection or thresholding and/or other image processing methods.
  • the second stage restores a real world coordinate system from the data obtained in the first stage. Some methods assume objects with known geometry (or fiducial markers) present in the scene. In some of those cases the scene 3D structure should be precalculated beforehand. If part of the scene is unknown simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) can map relative positions. If no information about scene geometry is available, structure from motion methods like bundle adjustment are used.
  • Mathematical methods used in the second stage include projective (epipolar) geometry, geometric algebra, rotation representation with exponential map, kalman and particle filters, nonlinear optimization, robust statistics.
  • Augmented Reality Markup Language is a data standard developed within the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), which consists of an XML grammar to describe the location and appearance of virtual objects in the scene, as well as ECMAScript bindings to allow dynamic access to properties of virtual objects.
  • OAC Open Geospatial Consortium

  • a few SDK such as CloudRidAR leverage cloud computing for performance improvement.
  • Some of the well known AR SDKs are offered by Vuforia, ARToolKit, Catchoom CraftAR Mobinett AR, Wikitude, Blippar Layar, and Meta.
  • Handheld displays employ a small display that fits in a user's hand. All handheld AR solutions to date opt for video see-through.
  • Handheld AR employed fiducial markers, [48] and later GPS units and MEMS sensors such as digital compasses and six degrees of freedom accelerometer-gyroscope.
  • Today SLAM markerless trackers such as PTAM are starting to come into use.
  • Handheld display AR promises to be the first commercial success for AR technologies. The two main advantages of handheld AR is the portable nature of handheld devices and ubiquitous nature of camera phones.
  • AR is used to integrate print and video marketing.
  • Printed marketing material can be designed with certain "trigger" images that, when scanned by an AR enabled device using image recognition, activate a video version of the promotional material.
  • Augmented Reality and straight forward image recognition is that you can overlay multiple media at the same time in the view screen, such as social media share buttons, in-page video even audio and 3D objects.
  • Traditional print only publications are using Augmented Reality to connect many different types of media.
  • AR can enhance product previews such as allowing a customer to view what's inside a product's packaging without opening it.
  • AR can also be used as an aid in selecting products from a catalog or through a kiosk. Scanned images of products can activate views of additional content such as customization options and additional images of the product in its use.

  • Augmented reality allowed video game players to experience digital game play in a real world environment.
  • Niantic is notable for releasing the record-breaking Pokemon Go game. Travelers used AR to access real time informational displays regarding a location, its features and comments or content provided by previous visitors. Advanced AR applications included simulations of historical events, places and objects rendered into the landscape. AR applications linked to geographic locations presented location information by audio, announcing features of interest at a particular site as they became visible to the user. AR systems can interpret foreign text on signs and menus and, in a user's augmented view, re-display the text in the user's language. Spoken words of a foreign language can be translated and displayed in a user's view as printed subtitles.
