EYE TRACKING RESEARCH & APPLICATIONS SYMPOSIUM - ETRA 2012

http://www.etra2012.org

March 28th – 30th, 2012
Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort
Santa Barbara, CA, USA

1ST CALL FOR PAPERS
The Seventh ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications (ETRA 
2012) will be held in Santa Barbara, California on March 28th-30th, 
2012. The ETRA conference series focuses on all aspects of eye movement 
research and applications across a wide range of disciplines. The 
symposium presents research that advances the state-of-the-art in these 
areas, leading to new capabilities in gaze tracking systems, gaze aware 
applications, gaze based interaction, eye movement data analysis, etc. 
For ETRA 2012, we invite papers in all areas of eye tracking research 
and applications.

Oct. 14th, 2011 Full Papers submission due
Nov. 21th, 2011 Full Papers acceptance notification
Dec. 07th, 2011 Short Papers submission due
Jan. 16th, 2012 Short Papers acceptance notification
Jan. 23th, 2012 Camera ready papers due

ETRA 2012 THEME: MOBILE EYE TRACKING
Mobile devices are becoming more powerful every day. Embedding eye 
tracking and gaze-based applications in mobile devices raises new 
challenges and opportunities to many aspects of eye tracking research. 
ETRA 2012 invites papers tackling the challenges, or exploring new 
research opportunities of mobile eye tracking.

GENERAL AREAS OF INTEREST
Eye Tracking Technology
Advances in eye tracking hardware, software and algorithms such as: 2D 
and 3D eye tracking systems, calibration, low cost eye tracking, natural 
light eye tracking, predictive models, etc.

Eye Tracking Data Analysis
Methods, procedures and analysis tools for processing raw gaze data as 
well as fixations and gaze patterns. Example topics are: scan path 
analysis, fixation detection algorithms, and visualization techniques of 
gaze data.

Visual Attention and Eye Movement Control
Applied and experimental studies investigating visual attention and eye 
movements to gain insight in eye movement control, cognition and 
attention, or for design evaluation of visual stimuli. Examples are: 
usability and web studies using eye tracking, and eye movement behavior 
in everyday activities such as driving and reading.

Eye Tracking Applications
Eye tracking as a human-computer input method, either as a replacement 
to traditional input methods or as a complement. Examples are: assistive 
technologies, gaze enhanced interaction and interfaces, multimodal 
interaction, gaze in augmented and mixed reality systems, and 
gaze-contingent displays.

SUBMISSIONS
Authors are invited to submit original work in the formats of Full paper 
(8 pages) and Short paper (4 pages). The papers will undergo a rigorous 
review process assessing the originality and quality of the work as well 
as the relevance for eye tracking research and applications. Papers 
presented at ETRA 2012 will be available in the ACM digital library. 
Submission formats and instructions are available at the conference web 
site.

CONFERENCE VENUE
ETRA 2012 will be held at the gorgeous Doubletree Resort in Santa 
Barbara, California, a 24-acre, mission-style resort hotel facing the 
Pacific Ocean, located on one of Southern California’s most beautiful 
coastlines.

SPONSORSHIP
ETRA 2012 is co-sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group in 
Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI), and the ACM Special Interest Group 
on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH).
