Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we made challenges to realize a novel authentication method by utilizing a nature of vision that we can’t estimate correctly where we are looking at from the outside. Here, we focused on the personal differences of angle kappa, which is the angle between optical and visual axes of the eye. To realize unobservable and untraceable personal authentication based on gaze interaction, we performed (1) measurement of angle kappa, (2) development of untraceable interaction method, and (3) development of a prototype system. We made clear the effectiveness of the method, and discussed about the nature and applicable region.
