Eyephone
- 2. EYEPHONE IS A NOVEL “HAND-FREE” INTERFACING SYSTEM CAPABLE OF DRIVING MOBILE APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS USING ONLY THE USER’S EYES MOVEMENT AND ACTIONS (E.G., WINK).
- 3. HUMAN-PHONE INTERACTION REPRESENTS AN EXTENSION OF THE FIELD OF HCI(HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION) SINCE HPI PRESENTS NEW CHALLENGES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED SPECIFICALLY DRIVEN BY ISSUES OF MOBILITY, THE FORM FACTOR OF THE PHONE, AND ITS RESOURCE LIMITATIONS (E.G., ENERGY AND COMPUTATION). MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE DISTINGUISHING FACTORS OF THE MOBILE PHONE ENVIRONMENT ARE MOBILITY AND THE LACK OF SOPHISTICATED HARDWARE SUPPORT, I.E., SPECIALIZED HEADSETS, OVERHEAD CAMERAS, AND DEDICATED SENSORS, THAT ARE OFTEN REQUIRED TO REALIZE HCI APPLICATIONS. IN WHAT FOLLOWS, WE DISCUSS THESE ISSUES
- 4. HUMAN-PHONE INTERACTION (HPI) EXTENDS THE CHALLENGES NOT TYPICALLY FOUND IN HCI RESEARCH, MORE SPECIALLY RELATED TO THE PHONE AND HOW WE USE IT. IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THESE GOALS HPI TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE LESS INTRUSIVE, THAT IS, • IT SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANY EXTERNAL DEVICES OTHER THAN THE MOBILE PHONE ITSELF. • IT SHOULD BE READILY USABLE WITH MINIMUM USER DEPENDENCY AS POSSIBLE. • IT SHOULD BE FAST IN THE INFERENCE PHASE. • IT SHOULD BE LIGHTWEIGHT IN TERMS OF COMPUTATION. • IT SHOULD PRESERVE THE PHONE USER EXPERIENCE, E.G., IT SHOULD NOT DEPLETE THE PHONE. • BATTERY OVER NORMAL OPERATIONS.
