This study aims to develop three types of the visual fields: stationary field, eye field, and head field, which are classified depending upon the eye and head movements. A visual experiment taking target size, target color, and meridian into account was conducted, in which the L32 orthogonal array was employed. The results showed that target size and meridian were significant at ${\alpha}$=0.01 in all three visual fields. Contrary to expectation, target color was significant at ${\alpha}$=0.10 only in the head field. Furthermore, the differences in size of the head field depending upon four target colors were negligibly small. Three linear regression models were provided to generate visual fields which are appropriate for given visual task's characteristics. In addition, a simple method using adjusting factor was also proposed so that anyone without knowledge for human factors/ergonomics can easily generate and use them when designing or evaluating visual tasks. It is expected that the visual fields presented in this study can be easily used even by non-ergonomic experts in real situations due to their simplicity.

Depending upon the eye and head movement, the visual field is often classified into three categories; stationary field, eye field and head field. To investigate the effect of background condition on the size of stationary field, an experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. In each trial, a single target was presented on the rear-view screen projected by the two-field tachistoscope, with the visual angle subtended 4.3.deg. vertically and horizontally. Density, meridian and subject showed a significant effect on stationary field at .alpha.=0.01, where density was inversely proportional to the size of stationary field. The size of the stationary field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and that on right and below meridian also larger than on left and lower meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. The regression equation to predict stationary field on the given background condition was suggested. These results were expected to be used as a designing guideline when arranging displays and controls on panels such as automobile display panels, cockpits, etc. In addition, it can be inferred from the results that eye field and head field are also subjected to the influence of background condition.

Among numerous factors that have an effect on visual field, the effects of background condition on the size of the visual field were investigated to obtain more practical visual field that can be readily applicable to industrial settings. A visual experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. Size contrast, meridian, nontarget density, and subject's gender showed a significant effect on the size of the visual field at $\alpha=0.01$. The size of the visual field was linearly proportional to size contrast, and inversely proportional to density. Female's visual fields were found to be significantly larger than male subjects', The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and the size of the head & eye field on right meridian was also larger than that on left meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. The regression equations to predict the visual fields on the given background condition were suggested. The visual fields suggested in this study would be valuable to the design of visual displays and the panel layout of various displays and controls.

Depending upon the eye and head movement, the visual field is often classified into three categories ; stationary field, eye field and head and eye field. To investigate the effect of background condition on the size of the visual field, an experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. In each trial, a single target was presented on the perimeter modified to cover the range of 330 .deg. around the fixation point, with the visual angle subtended 1.4 .deg. vertically and horizontally. Nontarget density, meridian, size contrast and subject showed a significant effect on the visual field at .alpha. =0.01, where density was inversely proportional to the size of the visual field, and size contrast linearly proportional to the size of the visual field. The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and that on right and upper meridian was also larger than on left and lower meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. In addition, the regression equations to predict the visual field on the given background condition were suggested. These results were expected to be used as a design guideline when arranging displays and controls on panels such as automobile display panels, cockpits, etc.

In this paper, a simple optical method that uses an infrared(IR) cut filter is proposed to minimize variation of eye image by external infrared(IR) sources in a video based head mounted eye tracking system that is used in the field of sports. For this, the IR cut filter is attached to a head mount of the eye tracking system, and the camera with an IR LED is located between the IR cut filter and eye. In this structure, external IR is blocked by the IR cut filter, and the IR intensity on the eye can be controlled by the IR LED. Therefore, the illumination condition of the camera to capture the eye can be stable without being affected by external IR illuminations. To verify the proposed idea, variation of the eye image and intensity of the IR with/without the IR cut filter is measured under various illumination conditions. The measured data show that the IR cut filter method can block external IR effectively, and complex pupil detection algorithms can be replaced by a simple binarized method.

Recently, service area has been emerging field f robotic applications. Even though assistant robots play an important role for the disabled and the elderly, they still suffer from operating the robots using conventional interface devices such as joysticks or keyboards. In this paper we propose an efficient computer interface using real-time eye-gaze tracking system. The inputs to the proposed system are images taken by a camera and data from a magnetic sensor. The measured data is sufficient to describe the eye and head movement because the camera and the receiver of a magnetic sensor are stationary with respect to the head. So the proposed system can obtain the eye-gaze direction in spite of head movement as long as the distance between the system and the transmitter of a magnetic position sensor is within 2m. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed system in practical aspect and also verify the feasibility of the system as a new computer interface for the disabled.

가상 멀미는 가상 현실의 대표적 부작용 중 하나로 다양한 요소에 의해 영향을 받는다. Field of view (FOV)는 그 중 대표적인 요소 중 하나로, FOV가 줄어들면 가상 멀미는 줄일 수 있으나 임장감 또한 낮아지는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 최근 연구에 따르면 임장감을 유지하면서 가상 멀미를 줄이기 위해 Dynamic FOV Restrictor (Center-fixed FOV Restrictor)가 제안되었으며, 아바타의 속도와 각속도를 반영하여 동적으로 FOV를 제한하였다. 본 연구 그룹에서는 여기에 머리의 회전과 눈의 움직임을 더하여 Eye-tracking Based Dynamic FOV Restrictor (Eye-tracking FOV Restrictor)를 제안하였다. 본 연구는 FOV Restrictor가 없는 조건과, Center-fixed FOV Restrictor조건, Eye-tracking FOV Restrictor조건의 가상 멀미와 임장감을 연구하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 Center-fixed FOV Restrictor조건의 가상 멀미가 다른 두 조건의 가상 멀미 보다 낮은 것을 확인하였고, 세 조건에서 영장감에 차이가 없는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 가상 멀미 저감 요소 기술에 대한 해석과 한계에 대하여 본 논문에서 논의하였다.

한 대의 카메라와 반사각의 조절이 가능한 2개의 거울, 그리고 별도의 적외선 광원을 이용하여 자유로운 머리 움직임이 가능한 안구 응시점 추정 시스템을 제안하였다. 거울의 회전 각도는 카메라의 광축(opticai axis) 상에 안구가 올 수 있도록 공간 좌표계와 선형 방정식을 이용하여 계산하였다 제안한 시스템은 수평 방향으로 90cm 수직 방향으로 60cm 범위 내에서의 머리 움직임이 가능하였고, 응시점의 공간 해상도 각각 6°, 7°이며, 시간 해상도는 10～15 frames/sec이었다. Generalized regression neural networks(GRNN)을 기반으로 하여 2단계의 GRNN을 거치는 소위 hierarchical generalized regression neural networks(H-GRNN)을 이용하여 얻어진 인자를 모니터 좌표로 변환하였다. GRNN을 한번 사용하였을 경우 정확도가 85%이었으나 H-GRNN을 이용할 경우 약 9% 높은 94%의 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 입력 파라미터의 정규화를 통하여 재보정의 불편함을 제거했을 뿐만 아니라 약간의 얼굴 회전이 발생하였을 경우에도 동일한 성능을 보였다. 본 시스템은 공간 해상도는 크게 높지 않으나 자유로운 머리 움직임을 허용되므로 안정성과 피검자의 활동에 제약을 줄였다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

We propose a depth-fused-type three-dimensional (3D) near-eye display implemented using a birefringent lens set that is made of calcite. By using a birefringent lens and image source (28.70 mm × 21.52 mm), which has different focal lengths according to the polarization state of the incident light, the proposed system can present depth-fused three-dimensional images at 4.6 degrees of field of view (FOV) within 1.6 Diopter (D) to 0.4 D, depending on the polarization distributed depth map. The proposed method can be applied to near-eye displays like head-mounted display systems, for a more natural 3D image without vergence-accommodation conflict.
