Taylor Wesolowski - Senior Capstone Project
Hidden Object Detection
Project Description:
Develop a game-like application (remember Where's Waldo or I Spy ?) that uses the
Tobii eye-tracking device to gather and visualize data related to search patterns
and speed while players locate hidden objects in an image.
Project Requirements:
1. Research metrics and visualizations for analyzing eye-tracking data.
2. Develop a game-like application in which users compete against time
(and, therefore, each other) to find hidden objects in an image.
3. Determine how the application knows the user has found a hidden object.
4. Allow the use of images of various formats and sizes.
5. Allow the application to visually replay the search path of a game.
This tool will enable data to be generated that can be used to investigate the
ease/difficulty of finding hidden objects in images based on the characteristics
of the images and/or the characteristics of the players.
6. In consultation with CS faculty, formulate research-style questions and use the
data visualization to demonstrate how to investigate those questions.
