Eye interaction for the ANW

The opportunity for interaction with the environment using eye movement is possible with scene devices like the Ouidoo Gaian. Canon debuted this technology in the semi-professional EOS 5 film SLR over a decade ago which could track eye movement using a low resolution digital sesnor
near the eye piece. This technology evolved to its epitome in the EOS 3, the last of Canon's professional film cameras.

The 1 megapixel video camera could be used to track eye movement. The SLR provides a better opportunity with the close proximity of the 1 kilopixel sensor and the eye. A phone held 30cm away from the eye could be close enough for accurate recognition using the latest algorithms and
high available computational power.

It would be an extraordinary interface. Simply looking at a building on the screen brings up the articulated naturality information. The experience is science fiction. Hand, touch or phone orientation gestures could also be used to provide pan and zoom functions interfaces. The
user can interact easier and with one less step. It will make the interface with the ANW exciting and novel as well as functional.

This technology could be extended to modern digital video cameras and could enable a new standard of creativity and high quality output.
