2. ABSTRACT
The objective of this special introductory seminar is to
provide newcomers to Human- Computer Interaction (HCI) with
an introduction and overview of the field. The material will begin
with a brief history of the field, followed by presentation and
discussion of how good application development methods pull on
the interdisciplinary technologies of HCI. The topics will include
the psychology of human- computer interaction, psychologically-
based design methods and tools, user interface media and tools,
and introduction to user interface architecture.

3. INTRODUCTION
The rapid growth of computing has made effective
human-computer interaction essential.It is important for the
growing number of computer users whose professional
schedules will not allow the elaborate training and experience
that was once necessary to take advantage of computing.
Increased attention to usability is also driven by competitive
pressures for greater productivity, the need to reduce
frustration, and to reduce overhead costs such as user training.

Vision field
Vision Field is Divided Into 3 Regions
Fovea Provides The Sharpest Vision
Parafovea Previews Fovea Information
Peripheral Vision Reacts To Flashing Objects And
Sudden Movements
7. Human Computer Interaction Techniques

Types Of Eye Movements
Fixation
Saccade
Occurs in response to moving object
Nystagmus
Relative movement of eye with respect to one
another

Methods For Measuring Eye Movements
Electronic
Mechanical
Optical/video
- Single point
-Two point
9. CTRONIC METHOD
The most used method is to place skin electrodes around the eye
and measure the potentioal differences in eye
Wide range – poor accuracy
Better for relative than absolute eye movements
Mainly used in neurological diagnosis
10. MECHANICAL METHODS:
Based on contact lenses with
- Mirror planes + reflecting IR-light
-Coil magnetic field
Very accurate.
very uncomfortable for users who are not used to wear lenses
-Usable only for lab students.

11. OPTICAL/VIDEO BASED METHOD
SINGLE POINT
Tracking one visible feature of the eyebal,e.g
oLimbus(boundary of sclera and iris)
oPupil
A video camera observes one of the users eye
Image processing software analyzer the video image and traces
the tracked features
Based on calibration , the system determines where the user is
currently looked
Head movements not rest is needed
12. OPTICAL/VIDEO BASED METHOD-
TWO POINT
The same idea as in the single point method except now two
features of eye are tracked typically
Uses IR light(invisible to human eye)to
-Produce corneal reflection
-Cause bright or dart pupil ,which helps the system to recognize pupil from video image
13. ADVANTAGES
No training or particular coordination is reqired of normal
users
Can determine where the user interest is focused
automatically
Helpful for usability studies to understand users interact
with their environments
15. CONCLUSION
Interaction techniques like these, when
applied to the design of specific interfaces, increase the
useful bandwidth between user and computer. This seems to
be the key bottleneck in improving the usefulness of all types
of interactive computer systems , and particularly educational
systems, which depend heavily on dialogues with their users.
