Previous Work

Some similar work in the realm eye-tracking as a method of interactivity has emerged from the Tisch School of the Arts in NYU. In the show entitled, ``Peepholes'', users can look through keyholes into living rooms. The voyeur's eyes are then eye-tracked and this output is used to control a camera inside the room. The output of this camera is shown on a television for people inside the room to see, propogating the feeling of paranoia of being watched.

White Glove Tracking is a project which used manually segmented images of a video to locate Michael Jackson's white glove during a concert performance. This database has led to a number of projects such as the Paul Pfiefer Tribute, which uses the database in order to center a video based on the location of the white glove.

An interesting work by Golan Levin and Greg Baltus uses the idea of the artwork looking at the audience. In the installation entitled, ``Opto-Isolator'', a single mechanical human-sized eye responds to the gaze of its audience with most unnerving behaviors.
