MRI: RUI: Acquisition of Eye Tracking Equipment to Support Research at UAA

方案编号：11-26896 PI(s): Hoanca, Bogdan；标题：MRI: RUI：获得眼动追踪设备以支持uaaa的研究项目建议：该项目，获得两个眼动追踪系统（以及用于为计算机用户创建生物特征配置文件的无线传感器），在用户认证，数学教学辅助软件，上下文感知文档检索和学生注意力方面实现新的创新研究方向。这些新的，最先进的眼动仪将取代两个低质量的眼动仪，腾出一个供学生使用。眼动仪将被放置在位于安克雷奇的阿拉斯加大学的一个受控制的公共实验室中，供几名研究人员使用。新型眼动仪的增强功能将允许更大范围的运动，以实现更自然的用户交互，并提高生物识别的准确性。因此，这项工作将允许基于一套全面的生物标记物的更自然和透明的用户认证和计算机安全的转型研究，对残疾人数学学习技术的辅助研究，通过在线用户分析增强的基于生物标记物的智能搜索和文档分类，以及增强的学习效能评估。除了大脑活动，眼睛模式是了解一个人最直接的窗口之一。理解和心理活动。更广泛的影响：更广泛的影响包括每年有4-6名本科生参与联合pi的眼动追踪研究，每年可能还有4-6名来自其他学院的本科生。四个更广泛的影响是显而易见的。首先，如果广泛部署，提议的身份验证方案有可能阻止电子商务用户的网络钓鱼攻击，甚至中间人攻击。第二，先进的数学辅助技术将使身体残疾的人能够像健全的人一样进行数学操作。第三，通过跟踪用户实际阅读的内容，用户分析将自动产生更好、更快的相关信息搜索。最后，高质量的眼动追踪应该为UAA教师提供学习和眼动模式之间的直接联系

Proposal #: 11-26896 PI(s): Hoanca, Bogdan; Mock, Kenrick Institution: University of Alaska at AnchorageTitle: MRI: RUI: Acquisition of Eye Tracking Equipment to Support Research at UAAProject Proposed:This project, acquiring two eye tracking systems, (along with wireless sensors for creating a biometric profile for a computer user), enables new and innovative research directions in user authentication, assistive software for teaching mathematics, context aware document retrieval, and student attentiveness. These new, state-of-the-art eye trackers will replace two lower quality eye trackers, freeing one up for student use. The eye trackers will be located in a controlled-access, public use laboratory available to several researchers at the University of Alaska at Anchorage. The enhanced capabilities of the new eye trackers will permit greater range of motion for more natural user interaction and higher accuracy for better biometrics. Consequently, the work will permit transformational research into more natural and transparent user authentication and computer security based on a comprehensive set of biomarkers, assistive research into mathematical learning techniques for persons with disabilities, enhanced, biomarker-based intelligent search and document categorization through online user profiling, and enhanced assessment of learning efficacy. Aside from brain activity, eye patterns are one of the most direct windows into a person?s understanding and mental activity. Broader Impacts:The broader impacts include the involvement of 4-6 undergraduate students per year in eye tracking research by the co-PIs, with possibly another 4-6 undergraduates per year from other faculty. Four broader impacts are apparent. First, if widely deployed, the proposed authentication scheme has the potential to thwart phishing attacks, and even man in the middle attacks, for e-commerce users. Second, advanced assistive technology for mathematics will allow physically disabled people to perform math manipulations on par with able-bodied people. Third, by tracking what a user actually reads, user profiling will result in better, faster searches for relevant information automatically. Finally, high quality eye tracking should provide the UAA faculty with insight into the direct connections between learning and eye patterns
