NEW SCENE CAMERA PRODUCT RELEASED FOR faceLAB(TM)
Seeing Machines (AIM : SEE) announce the release of a new Scene Camera product
for faceLAB(TM). Initially launched at the Eyetracking Research and
Applications (ETRA) 2006 conference in San Diego late last month, the product is
now on general release and has already taken its first new sales.
This updated Scene Camera adds to faceLAB(TM) an improved ability to merge a
live video-feed of the subject's actual view with the data feed from
faceLAB(TM). The Scene Camera video feed is overlaid with information from
faceLAB(TM) that shows the subject's gaze direction, and optionally head pose
direction projected into the scene ahead. This feature is in great demand for
those users with dynamic viewing scenes, for example, users conducting in-car
research and testing where the motion of the vehicle means that the view of the
subject is changing from moment to moment.
Nick Langdale-Smith, Seeing Machine's Director of Sales and Marketing commented:
'The new Scene Camera capability greatly enhances the breadth of applications
that can be met by faceLAB. Many of our customers with dynamic test
environments have requested this feature and we are tremendously pleased to be
able to address this issue for them with the general release of this new Scene
Camera tool.
'faceLAB has a very loyal and pro-active user community and we continue to
engage with that group to identify ways to improve the product so that it meets
their needs. We look forward to furthering that relationship and opening new
sales opportunities with the launch of this product.'

About Seeing Machines
Seeing Machines is an award winning Technology Company which focuses on vision
based human machine interfaces. 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 faceLABTM
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.
faceLAB(TM) is a computer vision system that is able to measure the orientation
and position of a human head, as well as detect blinks and estimate
gaze-direction. It achieves all of this completely visually through a stereo
camera system connected to advanced image processing software, with no
attachments required on the subject. The product is designed to allow human
factors researchers and designers 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 also has application in monitoring automobile
drivers and if it detects drowsiness or that the driver is distracted and their
attention has been diverted from the road, an alarm can be raised to alert the
driver to either pull over and rest in the case of drowsiness or to pay more
attention to the road.
faceLAB(TM) works in real-time, enabling the behaviour of a subject to be
tracked. 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.
