Deadline Extension
Due to many requests, the submission deadline for the
2nd International Workshop on Vision and Eye Tracking in Natural
Environments and Solutions & Algorithms for Gaze Analysis (SAGA 2015)
has been extended to July 16th, 2015.
Accepted abstracts will be published as OpenAccess with DOIs per
document in the Bielefeld eCollection Series. Have a look at the SAGA
2013 proceedings:
http://saga.eyemovementresearch.com/saga-workshop-2013/proceedings-saga-2013/
Where: Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC),
Bielefeld University, Germany
When: September, 29-30, 2015
WWW: http://saga.eyemovementresearch.com
The SAGA 2015 workshop is accepting abstracts for two calls:
1.) solutions for the (semi-) automatic annotation of gaze videos,
2.) eye movement studies in natural environments as a trailblazer for
gaze analysis in natural environments, social interactions,
computational linguistics, consumer research, mobile eye-
based interaction and eye-based context-awareness.
As a follow up event of the successfull SAGA 2013 workshop, we are
providing a forum for researchers from human-human and human-computer
interaction, context-aware computing, robotics, computer vision and
image processing, psychology, computational linguistics, sport and
consumer science, eye tracking and industry to discuss techniques and
applications that go beyond classical eye tracking and stationary
eye-based interaction. We want to stimulate and explore the creativity
of these communities with respect to the implications, key research
challenges, new techniques and application areas. The long-term goal is
to create a strong interdisciplinary research community linking these
fields together and to establish the workshop as the premier forum for
research on automatic annotation of gaze videos and use of eye tracking
in natural environments. We are currently pursuing possible options for
publication of the submitted abstracts in a special issue or as an
edited volume.

Keynote speakers:
Several outstanding keynote speakers from academics and industry in the
fields of eye movement research in natural environments, sport and
consumer science, computational linguistics & phonetics and industrial
design already confirmed their participation at the SAGA 2015 workshop:
- Mark Williams, Head of Life Sciences Department, Brunel University
London, United Kingdom
on "Visual search behaviour and expertise in high-performance
environments"
- Maria Staudte, Computational Linguistics & Phonetics, Saarland
University, Saarbrücken, Germany
on "Studying gaze in spoken interaction"
- Jacob Lund Orquin, Department of Business Administration, Aarhus
University, Aarhus, Denmark
on "What eye tracking researchers (dis)agree about reporting"
======================================================================
Submissions:
We are calling for 500-word abstracts on topics related to real-world
eye tracking and eye movement analyses. We are interested in the use of
eye-tracking techniques in mobile or interactive applications. Modern
mobile eye-tracking systems record participants’ gaze behavior while
they move freely within the environment and have haptic contact with the
objects of interest. This allows us to apply eye tracking as a central
method for investigating the perceptual and cognitive processes
underlying visual scene perception under dynamic conditions, i.e., under
natural conditions – a topic of increasing importance for the field of
industrial use and academic research. Possible topics include, but are
not limited to, eye tracking in human-human and human-machine
interaction, sports, visual search, language processing, eye-hand
coordination, consumer science and marketing, automatized tasks,
orientation studies, safety and optimization at work, and decision making.
Abstracts will be peer-viewed by at least two members of an
international program committee according to the evaluation criteria
(see Workshop Website). Word and LaTex templates for the submissions are
now available on the workshop website and the registration is open.
Please note: All accepted contributions must register for the workshop.
Submission site:

Templates for the submission can be found on our website:
http://saga.eyemovementresearch.com/submissions-2/
======================================================================
Live Demo Sessions:
As a particular highlight, several technical solutions (commercial or
research-in-progress) for automatic gaze analysis will be demonstrated
in between sessions: During the live session, researchers will provide
an in-depth demonstration of their solutions and they are pleased to
answer any further questions you may have.
Plenary Discussion:
There will be a plenary discussion with the keynotes and technicians to
learn more about the requirements of the researchers for the analysis of
vision and eye tracking studies in natural environments and
corresponding/suitable solutions the technical partners can contribute.
