I already finished the implementation showing the gaze and the eyes. I showed it to Monchu. During the meeting new tasks were put:

1. To try to fool the eye tracker showing it a pair of printed eyes. In that sense we can take measures to calibrate the wye tracker using different positions.
2. To measure the range of the eye tracker. How far the eye tracker can see the eyes in 3 directions: up/down, right/left, forward/backward.
3. A new game will be developed. The idea is to use Art Track, so two people can paint the same canvas. ... read more

Thursday (25/09/14)
I have been working on the calibration for the second eye tracker as a mirror. I already finished the implementation and it works. I started with the monitoring implementation. The idea is to see where the gaze of each player is and where the eyes actually are. This is due to not because the gazes are looking at the point means that the players are making eye contact. It would be good to have that in 3D.... read more

We did not have the meeting today.
For next week I will be implementing the calibration process so we can calibrate the eye trackers from Java and more important remotely. If we can find the materials to build the set-up I will be working on that as well next week.

• Presentation that introduces FM - My work - an idea on how we can proceed

• Discussion: in general, I should keep on thinking (in the background) on how we can combine efforts. -> To read about Fuzzy Logic

• Things to do

• To look for a good (and cheap) solution on how we can work with the 2 eye trackers.
• Monchu will give an IMac to work with. The idea is to buy a Mac mini but it will not happen very soon. So I will be working on the IMac meanwhile the Mini Mac comes.
• To have an initial implementation of a simple game using two eye trackers. That means, I have to set the eye trackers up to work in the computer. To implement the simple game and make it work.

Weekly meeting:
Fridays at 11am
The meeting will follow:
* Status report: what I have done so far and to show things
* Discussion: discussion about the things done
* Things to do for next meeting.

TODO:
* To look/read about HCI (papers) -> Monchu'll send me a link
* To give a brief introduction to FM
* To find a way to overlap both works
* Focus on the game (eye tracker)
* To read about the model(FM) of human behaviour (HCI)
* To read about fuzzy logic (EB in HCI)... read more

This meeting took place before I was hired.
As the first task I had to play around an eye-tracker.

• To install it and make it work
• to implement:
  • To take the data from the eye tracker
  • To send the data to a software using OSC

This is a test before hiring me
