[ISEA2004] Paper: Axel Roch – Surfaces that See: Subjective Vision and Imagination in Gaze-based Interaction

Abstract

The gaze is used as selective and creative input to dynamic images and figures that are made apparent in fluid media, such as random surfaces, noisy textures, and chance images. The subjective selection of signals in the presence of noise (figure/ground) transforms observation into a reciprocal process mediating between visibility and invisibility.
