• Abstract: Mobile gaze tracking involves inferring a user's gaze point or direction on a mobile device's screen from facial images captured by the device's front camera. While this technology inspires an increasing number of gaze-interaction applications, achieving consistent accuracy remains challenging due to dynamic user-device spatial relationships and varied motion conditions inherent in mobile contexts. This paper provides empirical evidence on how user mobility and behaviour affect mobile gaze tracking accuracy. We conduct two user studies collecting behaviour and gaze data under various motion conditions - from lying to maze navigation - and during different interaction tasks. Quantitative analysis has revealed behavioural regularities among daily tasks and identified head distance, head pose, and device orientation as key factors affecting accuracy, with errors increasing by up to 48.91% in dynamic conditions compared to static ones. These findings highlight the need for more robust, adaptive eye-tracking systems that account for head movements and device deflection to maintain accuracy across diverse mobile contexts.

  Real-time tracking of dexterous hand movements has numerous applications in human-computer interaction, metaverse, robotics, and tele-health. Here, we report accurate and dynamic tracking of articulated hand and finger movements using stretchable, washable smart gloves with embedded helical sensor yarns and inertial measurement units. The sensor yarns have a high dynamic range, responding to low 0.005 % to high 155 % strains, and show stability during extensive use and washing cycles.

• Realtime Dynamic Gaze Target Tracking and Depth-Level Estimation [6.435984242701043]
  Transparent Displays (TD) in various applications, such as Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) in vehicles, is a burgeoning field, poised to revolutionize user experiences. This innovation brings forth significant challenges in realtime human-device interaction, particularly in accurately identifying and tracking a user's gaze on dynamically changing TDs. We present a two-fold robust and efficient systematic solution for realtime gaze monitoring, comprised of: (1) a tree-based algorithm for identifying and dynamically tracking gaze targets; and (2) a multi-stream self-attention architecture to estimate the depth-level of human gaze from eye tracking data.

  The perception of 3D motion of surrounding traffic participants is crucial for driving safety. We propose to leverage local occupancy completion of object point clouds to densify the shape cue, and mitigate the impact of swimming artifacts. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior performance compared to standard 3D motion estimation approaches.
