ABSTRACT

The Attention-Responsive Technology (ART) research project is developing a system to enable mobility-impaired individuals to access technology efficiently. Users of the ART system are targeted as being anyone with mobility problems or a mobile person in an environment where, for some reason, they are restricted in their physical movements. The ART eye movement system must be capable of accurately identifying where the user is looking so that the appropriate object is selected. Clearly it is essential to know which ICT objects are important to the specific user as well as knowing which ICT objects potential users currently use and which they would like to additionally use through implementing the ART system. The ART system is just in its second year of a three year development process and progress to date has concentrated upon finding state of the art technical solutions to the overall research problem.
