A paper titled “Perceptions of Interfaces for Eye Movement Biometrics” by lab member Michael Brooks, lab director Cecilia Aragon, and Oleg Komogortsev (Texas State University San Marcos) has been accepted for publication at the 2013 International Conference on Biometrics. The conference will take place June 4-7 in Madrid, Spain. Through user studies of emerging technology for biometric identification via eye movement patterns, the paper argues for the increased use of human centered design practices in biometric systems research and development.

Lab member Daniel Perry presented at the 2013 iConference (February 12 – 15) in Fort Worth, Texas. His presentation was titled “VizDeck: Streamlining exploratory visual analytics of scientific data,” and described the design and evaluation of VizDeck, a web-based visual analytics tool that automatically recommends a set of appropriate visualizations based on the statistical properties of the data and adopts a card game metaphor to present the results to the user. The talk was well received, and one of three visualization long papers presented this year. Daniel commented that “the iConference is just getting better and better each year. I was really impressed with some of the social media and other visualization presentations this year.”
