Tiger:Wearable Glasses for the 20-20-20 Rule to Alleviate Computer Vision Syndrome
This addresses eye strain for computer users, but it is incremental as it applies existing sensing methods to a specific health application.
The researchers tackled the problem of Computer Vision Syndrome by developing Tiger, a wearable glasses system that helps users follow the 20-20-20 rule, resulting in accurate detection of screen viewing events and positive user feedback on its usefulness and acceptance.
We propose Tiger, an eyewear system for helping users follow the 20-20-20 rule to alleviate the Computer Vision Syndrome symptoms. It monitors user's screen viewing activities and provides real-time feedback to help users follow the rule. For accurate screen viewing detection, we devise a light-weight multi-sensory fusion approach with three sensing modalities, color, IMU, and lidar. We also design the real-time feedback to effectively lead users to follow the rule. Our evaluation shows that Tiger accurately detects screen viewing events, and is robust to the differences in screen types, contents, and ambient light. Our user study shows positive perception of Tiger regarding its usefulness, acceptance, and real-time feedback.
