a experimental research study on the way in which people look at things, featuring hand-made eye-tracking glasses and supplemental materials.
for this project, i created eye-tracking glasses that work by recording both your surroundings and your eye simultaneously. the data then gets analyzed on the computer, calculating where and how fast your pupil looks at certain things. the glasses can determine what you look at first when viewing a painting, how long you look at a certain detail, or how often you look down while talking to someone.
there are 3 publications that i created to go along with the glasses—the first explains the materials needed and the steps to create your own eye-tracking glasses, the second details the simulations created for this research study, and the final publication explains the findings of my research analysis. the set of publications focus on typography, imagery, and textures. based on my findings, one could use the etg-003 to determine how often people look away when they’re anxious, or uncomfortable, what they’re attracted to, how vigilant men are versus women at night, etc.
the most difficult aspect of this project was designing glasses that would work effectively and produce the results i wanted. in this project, i wore many hats—product prototyping, product design and creation, data analysis, simulation content creation, and publication creation.
the work included: sketches & ideation, product prototype design & production, simulation video design, data analysis app creation, content writing, graphic design, publication design & production
