KIBITZER: A Wearable System for Eye-Gaze-based Mobile Urban Exploration

摘要

Due to the vast amount of available georeferenced information novel techniques to more intuitively and efficiently interact with such content are increasingly required. In this paper, we introduce KIBITZER, a lightweight wearable system that enables the browsing of urban surroundings for annotated digital information. KIBITZER exploits its user's eye-gaze as natural indicator of attention to identify objects-of-interest and offers speech- and non-speech auditory feedback. Thus, it provides the user with a 6th sense for digital georeferenced information. We present a description of our system's architecture and the interaction technique and outline experiences from first functional trials.
