Online Seminar Series 2024/2025

Teresa Hirzle (University of Copenhagen) is an Assistant Professor in the Human-Centred Computing Section at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen. She received her PhD in computer science from Ulm University in 2022. Her core research interests are human-computer interaction and immersive technologies. She works with both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand, evaluate, and improve interactions with extended reality technologies. Additionally, she is interested in developing and studying methods for research synthesis in human-computer interaction. 
 

Everyday Eye Tracking Through Extended Reality: So Close Yet So Far?

In this talk, I will provide an overview of my research in extended reality (including virtual and augmented reality) and its applications to enhance our daily lives. For the Eyes4ICU audience, I will focus on projects that use eye tracking and eye-based human-computer interaction within extended reality. I will argue that by combining sensing and visualization, extended reality technologies (such as smart glasses) offer a unique opportunity to bring eye tracking research into everyday life. Specifically, I will discuss projects on gaze guidance and gaze behavior analysis in the context of mental health.
