Eye-Com Applications

Eye-Com Corporation is committed to becoming a leader in innovation by advancing the promising capabilities and expanding applications of eye tracking technology. There are an incredible number of opportunities and benefits that can be gained from determining where a person, for example a consumer or driver, is looking. Our extensive research and development efforts allow us to discover exciting, new eye tracking solutions and give us access to variety of industries.

Research

Oculometrics is a relatively new research concept based on obtaining measurements using eye tracking technology to evaluate physiological states or visual perception.

Eye Com ApplicationsIn addition to eye tracking and head tracking, the EC7T™ can be used as a versatile biometric data collection system. In addition to recording a wide range of oculometrics, the EC7T™ can also be synchronized with additional biometric technologies like brain-wave (EEG) and cardiac (EKG) sensors for collection of multiple physiological measures.
The EC7T™ system can be used to evaluate and assess a variety of human health-related and behavioral conditions like sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, and Traumatic Brain Injury; human performance in simulated operational and training scenarios; and the effects of pharmaceutical drugs for clinical studies, among others.

Assistive Technology

Imagine being confined to a wheelchair, unable to move your arms or legs. Approximately 5.6 million people in the U.S. who suffer from some form of paralysis cope with this limitation every day.

Eye Com ApplicationsThe original Eye-Com Biosensor, Communicator and Controller was created to give a quadriplegic patient the ability to communicate through blinking of the eyes. Eye-Com Corporation technology has since evolved from primitive blink detection to complex, eye-based computer interaction. The new Eye-Com EC7T™ eye tracking system capabilities give the user complete control of a computer cursor with just movement of the eyes. When combined with communication software programs, this technology can give a voice to those who don’t have one.

Driver Drowsiness and Fatigue

According to the National Sleep Foundation, 54% of adults have driven while drowsy at least once this year. Sleepy drivers risk losing control of their vehicles and are a hazard to themselves and others on the road.

Eye Com ApplicationsThe EC7T™ is a wearable system that can use eye tracking to record optical measurements, such as Eye Blink Duration and Percentage of Time Eyes are Closed (PERCLOS), that are indicators of drowsiness and fatigue. Using the Composite Oculometric Fatigue Index (COFI) developed by Eye-Com Corporation in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the EC7T™ can identify the onset of sleep and trigger an alarm to alert and awaken the driver. It saves lives by preventing impaired driver performance, ensuring that vehicle operators are vigilant and wakeful.
