Natural interaction enhanced remote camera control for teleoperation

Published: 10 April 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In teleoperation, operators usually have to control multiple devices simultaneously, which requires frequent hand switches between different controllers. We designed and implemented two prototypes, one by applying head motion and the other by integrating eye gaze as intrinsic elements of teleoperation for remote camera control in a multi-control setting. We report a user study of a modeled multi-control experiment that compares the performance of head tracking control, eye tracking control and traditional joystick control. The results provide clear evidence that eye tracking control significantly outperforms joystick and head tracking control in both objective measures and subjective measures.
