Now that the ARVO and VSS deadlines have passed, I would like to encourage you
to also submit your eye-tracking research to the 2006 Eye Tracking Research &
Applications Symposium (ETRA). The deadline for submitting an abstract to the
Late Breaking Results (LBR) venue is December 15th, which is rapidly
approaching. Research focused on the scientific study of visual attention /
eye movements, eye tracking applications, gaze-based human computer
interaction, or fundamental eye-tracking technology is welcomed. The LBR
format will be poster presentation, but the most highly rated abstracts will
also be scheduled for short talks. All abstracts will be published in the ETRA
proceedings which will made available through the ACM Digital Library.
ETRA is the premiere North American conference focused on eye tracking
research and application. ETRA is a multidisciplinary venue that brings
together computer scientists, engineers and behavioral scientists in support
of a common vision of enhancing eye tracking research and applications. ETRA
also provides a unique opportunity to see and compare numerous commercial eye
tracking systems offered by national and international vendors.

ETRA 2006
Eye Tracking Research & Applications
<http://www.e-t-r-a.org>
Symposium 2006
27-29 March 2006, San Diego, CA, USA
Call for Participation
Sponsored by
ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGGRAPH
MOTIVATION
ETRA 2006 will be the fourth biennial symposium in a series focused
on all aspects of eye movement research across a wide range of disciplines.
The goal of ETRA is to bring together computer scientists, engineers
and behavioral scientists in support of a common vision of enhancing
eye tracking research and applications.
SYMPOSIUM THEMES
Advances in Eye-Tracking Technology
Eye-tracking systems, software, and algorithms, Eye movement analysis
techniques and predictive models
Visual Attention and Eye Movement Control
Studies of eye movement guidance during natural stimuli and behaviors,
driving, web surfing, Usability studies
Eye Tracking Applications
Gaze-contingent displays, Attentive user interfaces, Human computer
interfaces, Assistive technologies
Special Theme: Communication by Gaze Interaction
Human computer interaction using eye movements is a rapidly growing
research topic that is now coming into fruition due to recent advances
making eye tracking less expensive and intrusive. We invite submissions
that explore eye movements as a communication modality, especially
assistive technologies that benefit people with disabilities.
SUBMISSION FORMAT
Late-Breaking Results must be submitted electronically through the
ETRA submission website <http://submit.e-t-r-a.org> and conform
to the ACM SIGGRAPH proceedings category 4 format. Late-Breaking
Results submissions will consist of a one-page abstract. Given the time
constraints of this format, submissions must be made in camera-ready format
including authors names and affiliations. Accepted submissions will be
published in the ETRA 2006 proceedings. Authors will present a poster at
the conference. The most highly rated submissions will be selected for
additional presentation as a short talk (10 minutes) in a Late Breaking
Results session.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee.
The most highly ranked presentations will receive awards of excellence.
