8. Review Recommendation #2 Recommendation 2: Consistently with the contract, the objectives of the COGAIN NoE of Annex I and the WP2, it is recommended that the consortium gives the second highest priority to the design and implementation of a concrete approach to standardization aiming to fostering the interoperability between the hardware and software components enabling gaze-based communications. This approach should include, but is not limited to: –derive a realistic work plan from the "Standardization roadmap" proposed so far; –defines the landmarks and success indicators towards the concerned standardization bodies; –the detailed assessment of the resources necessary for the standardization approach; –the priorities of the standardization strategy as far as gaze-based communication is concerned; –anticipation of how the COGAIN Association will replace the COGAIN NoE for the continuation of the standardization work that must be integrated into the agreement mentioned in the recommendation #1 above.

9. Different Problems, Different Solutions ProblemKind of needed solution Software interface with eye tracking systems Standardized APIs. Easy to implement, and easy to adopt. Extending / updating as technology evolves. Free reference implementation. Software Library-level standard. Safe Infrared Exposure levels Physical measurements and assessment of biological effects. Safety thresholds and levels. Enforceable definitions. Official enforceable standard. Eye based environmental control Interoperation of standards in the home environment. Programming interfaces. Guidelines for user interfaces and application builders. Network-level architecture standard. User-interface standard guidelines. Eye based mobility control Study of existing solutions, to match safety regulations with the capabilities of eye tracking systems. Analysis and review of standards to drive research and innovation.

10. Standards: Time and Effort COGAIN NoE has a limited timespan COGAIN Association has limited resources (at least initially) We need a lean, cost-effective, process –Open to external collaborations –Open to inputs from user communities and industries –Exploiting the expertise of the partners

11. Transitioning to the Association Standardization Roadmap v3.0 designed to be compatible with the COGAIN Association constraints COGAIN Association is going to incorporate the Standardization Roadmap into its Research Roadmap –COGAIN NoE sent a proposed Roadmap to the Association –Mainly editorial and formal changes On-going activities will continue, at least on the 4 main topics

12. Review Recommendation #2 Standardization Roadmap v3.0 very realistic derive a realistic work plan from the "Standardization roadmap" proposed so far Success with CIE. No other relevant bodies foreseen according to the priorities. define landmarks and success indicators towards standardization bodies Working-group based, no overhead, according to yearly budget detailed assessment of the resources necessary for the standardization approach ① Safety, ② ETAPIS, ③ Environmental, ④ Mobility priorities of the standardization strategy Standardization Roadmap v3.0 being adopted anticipation of how the COGAIN Association will replace the COGAIN NoE

15. 17/04/2008Presentation name15 DTU Informatics, Technical University of Denmark COGAIN Association to develop standard for the measurement of Eye Tracker Accuracy, Precision and Specifications. Technical committee formed –15 committee members and –many more sub committee members. Lund University has invested a 6 month position to this work. Actively seeking funding The first committee meeting held on 21st august, in Marseille, to coincide with ECEM 2011 Were invited to give a plenary talk on this COGAIN standard at ECEM too, followed by a panel discussion.

Then it is nice to have a little competition. When having gone through a heart attack it is not always desired to go down to the gym and exercise. There has to be something to “spice it up”, and I think that the tiles makes this possible”.
