ETRA 2k10 Program Announced!

The awaited program for this years Eye Tracking Research and Applications symposium held in Austin, Texas, 22nd-24th March has been announced. The biennial get-together for leading research on eye movement research targeting computer scientists, engineers and behavioral researchers, is organized in conjunction with the European Communication By Gaze Interaction (COGAIN) association. Which emphasizes a certain focus on gaze-based interaction for individuals with physical motor control disabilities. This years keynote will be given by Scott MacKenzie, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at York University, Canada.

The long papers section contains 18 entries reflecting the various areas of eye gaze research, from eye tracking, data analysis, visualization, cognitive studies, and interaction & control. In addition, the long list of short papers and a full poster section will ensure a worthwhile event for anyone interested in eye movement related research.

Update: Official detailed program now available.
Update: The papers are now available online.

Looking forward to meeting you there!
