Eye Tracker
The advertising industries use a device that is attached to subjects heads and allows the direction of their gaze to be tracked. As part of my first year at the RCA, I wanted to use this technology to simulate how a cybernetic experience might feel.
I developed a programme that used this hardware to allow for a persons gaze to control the lighting within a room. Using DirectorMX as the programming software, as the subject concentrated their gaze on particular objects within a room the lights around that object slowly faded leaving just that object spotlighted.
