Subconscious Picture Rating Tool
Class: Introduction to Computational Media
Professor: Shawn Van Every
Our private picture libraries are ever growing.
Your eye ball wanders around to places we are not always aware of.
Could the eye ball involuntary movement show something about our subconscious/preferences/interests?
Using eye tracking, I propose to rate your pictures by simply looking at them.
The more your eye stays on one picture, the higher the rating it gets

Eye vs. Mouse
Explicitly selecting picutres with your mouse and then comparing them what your eye "selected"HARDWARE:
How it was done / more details
Hypothesis:
When people are tasked to pick their favorite photograph from several photos, it is not always the one they spent the most time looking at.
Method
Several subjects will be asked to pick their favorite photo. They will then be presented with 4 photos. Eye tracking will record their eye motions while the user picks their favorite photo of the set by clicking on it with the mouse. The eye tracking data will be compared with the favorite picks to see if there is a correlation between time spent looking at a photo and the favorite picked.
Procedure
- An eye tracking device with a picture slide show
- 4 pictures are shown at each time
- You pick one of them as your favorite
- The eye tracking in the mean time, recorded which was the picture you actually looked at the most
- At the end, the results are show - what you picked vc. what your eye "picked"
