ABSTRACT:

Eye-tracking calibration usually requires users to focus on several points on the screen. This process is not too long but is not so engaging, and even challenging for special users like young children or cognitively disabled. This talk explores the application of playful elements to the calibration process to make it more engaging, and eventually improve calibration quality in general. The whole design process was covered from understanding, to ideation, prototyping and a final evaluation performed on 24 young children. Beginning with discussing calibration in theory, the talk concludes with practical discussions regarding the feasibility and directions of applying playful elements to calibration.
