Project Aria glasses contain visual and non-visual sensors for multi-modal data collection. The sensory information captured by the glasses includes video, audio, locations, and motion from the wearer’s perspective. WS-DL Group, ODU CS #project_aria #eye_tracking

WS-DL Group, ODU CS Aria glasses can determine gaze direction using data captured from the eye-tracking cameras. The GitHub repository provides more tools to estimate gaze direction and visualize gaze data. GitHub repo: github.com/facebookresear… WS-DL Group, ODU CS nirds-lab #project_aria #eye_tracking

WS-DL Group, ODU CS nirds-lab .nirds-lab has initiated research projects on accessibility and multi-user eye-tracking using Aria glasses. The ability to collect time-synchronized data from multiple Aria glasses makes multi-user data collection more efficient. facebookresearch.github.io/projectaria_to… WS-DL Group, ODU CS

ETRA Day 2, excellent keynote by Jean-Marc Odobez Idiap Research Institute "Looking Through Their Eyes: Decoding Gaze and Attention in Everyday Life", some of the work in the areas of gaze and Visual Focus of Attention. #etra2025

Excited to see some of the work that resonates with our labs nirds-lab work in the area of multi-user tracking Bhanuka Mahanama and joint attention tracking Kumushini Thennakoon. ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum… WS-DL Group, ODU CS

🔬 Capturing the moment: Paper Session 1 featured groundbreaking work spanning LLM alignment analysis, laser-based eye tracking for smart glasses, and expertise detection through gaze patterns. The diversity of applications demonstrates the expanding scope of our field. #ETRA2025

Excited to be at #ETRA2025! Come check out our poster (No. 39) on real-time visual attention. ixlab_ut Jacek Gwizdka Yasith Jayawardana nirds-lab

ETRA Poster session. #etra2025

ETRA, always a pleasure to see nirds-lab WS-DL Group, ODU CS ODU Computer Science distinguished alumni. My students Gavindya Gavindya and Yasith Jayawardana with Andrew Duchowski Andrew Duchowski. Gavindya's paper "A Real-Time Approach to Capture Ambient and Focal Attention in Visual Search" #etra2025

This work introduces a real-time measure of the ambient/focal coefficient K, robust parametrization and an alternative estimation method, along with two real-time measures analogous to K. More information here dl.acm.org/doi/full/10.11… #etra2025

🎉 Congratulations to Bhanuka Mahanama on successfully defending your PhD dissertation! Your hard work and perseverance truly paid off. Wishing continued success, Dr. Mahanama. Sampath Jayarathna nirds-lab WS-DL Group, ODU CS ODU Computer Science #PhDdefense

Congratulations Bhanuka Bhanuka Mahanama, for a successful Ph.D. defence titled "Mutli-Eyes: Multi-Use Eye Tracking Using Commodity Hardware. " My 4th Ph.D. student from the nirds-lab WS-DL Group, ODU CS ODU Computer Science @odusc. Also, a Sri Lankan-style feast including yellow rice, cashews, and chicken!

Bhanuka will join the CS department ODU Computer Science @odu as an instructional faculty and continue his academic journey! Well-deserved!

Reflecting on #GAAD2025: The “Accessible by Design” workshop led by Dr. Brett Cook-Snell and hosted by ODU Libraries and the EWDA—moved beyond just technical skills to address the core of digital inclusion.
