We are presenting at 3 CPS-IoT Week sessions this week:
IPSN’22: EyeSyn: Psychology-inspired Eye Movement Synthesis for Gaze-based Activity Recognition presents the first method for synthesizing eye movement data for training eye movement-based activity classifiers for AR and VR without human involvement.
