Formed in 2000 in Canberra, Australia, Seeing Machines' purpose is to commercialise its computer-vision across a range of industries and applications. Seeing Machines deliver advanced computer vision solutions for researches and developers in human factors, transportation safety, computer human interaction, robotics, medical research and psychology. The flagship product faceLAB(R) provides an automated and contact-free gaze and head tracking technology, it solves the problem of observing human behaviour naturally, non-intrusively and with a high degree of accuracy and usability. Building on these unique face tracking and pupil measurement and monitoring capabilities, the TrueField Analyzer(R) is new medical device to assist clinicians detect and manage eye diseases such as glaucoma. The TrueField Analyzer(R) offers a new objective method to help doctors diagnose and manage a range of eye diseases including glaucoma, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Glaucoma affects about 2-3% of the population over 40 years of age and is a leading source of blindness. Unlike most other devices available to the clinician the TrueField Analyzer is a completely objective test and it is quick and easy for patients and technicians alike. The device measures both eyes concurrently and due to the reliability that arises from the objective nature of the test, it has the potential to become a new standard in the measurement of visual field defects and thus in the diagnosis and management of disease such as glaucoma. More generally Seeing Machines' computer vision systems are able to measure the orientation and position of a human head, estimate eye-gaze direction, detect eye blinks and track other facial features. This functionality is achieved entirely though visual means, using video cameras connected to advanced image processing software, with no attachments required on the subject. Products such as faceLAB(R) are designed to allow human factors researchers and designers to assess the interaction of an operator in an environment and this finds application in designing operator environments, such as cockpits for cars, trucks, trains, and aeroplanes for instance, and other industrial design applications, as well as medical and psychological research situations. The technology has been developed into the Driver State Sensor (DSS2) product for application in monitoring vehicle drivers and if it detects drowsiness (fatigue) or that the driver is distracted and their attention has been diverted from the road, alarms are raised to alert the driver to these events. In larger deployments, such as in fleet and mining equipment operations, the data is available in both real-time and off-line modes for fleet management, driver training and awareness programs The systems work in real-time, enabling the behaviour of subjects to be tracked in real-time. This technology is paving the way in promoting safer driving conditions and works to enhance the driving experience and to eliminate accidents caused through driver drowsiness or distraction. There are many different sectors that can benefit from this revolutionary software, for which it has been developed, including: automotive; academic research; medicine/healthcare; defence; autostereoscopy (next generation displays); sport; and games.
