Tonight I saw a tweet <domlostejon @JGL Cor…love the eyetracking drawing http://is.gd/xj6e> And I discovered this:
I have always thought about eye tracking art, pretty pictures. But this exhibit at the MU Eindhoven takes art to another level.
A person is eye tracked as they look at an image of their own face. Then they can take the eye gaze pattern off the printer and home with them! How cool. The artist, Christien Meindertsma, has leveraged human nature to engage people in the exhibit.
“I wonder how ‘I’ Look at my own face?”
“I wonder how others look at it?”
“I get ‘my’ own art!”
This is a fascinating lesson in creativity. Christien has leveraged new technology in a way that adds to the Art Gallery experience. It engages people’s senses, as well as their sensibilities to help them discover their uniqueness in a objective and engaging way.
Oh, and there was a Tobii T120 in there and an X120 too!

I just found Flylyf’s post about an eyetracker that is connected to a Lego robot that draws what people see. It is at the same exhibit at MU Eidenhoven. Check it out!

Hi James,
Nice find and good marketing for Tobii
I’d love to work with one of these beauties if I had the chance!
BTW, it’s not Eidenhoven but Eindhoven.
