Gaze navigation in the real world by changing visual appearance of objects using projector-camera system

This paper proposes a method for gaze navigation in the real world by projecting an image onto a real object and changing its appearance. In the proposed method, a camera captures an image of objects in the real world. Next all the pixels in the image but those in a specified region are slightly shifted to left and right. Then the obtained image is projected onto the original objects. As a result, the objects not in the specified region looks blurred. We conducted user experiments and showed that the users' gaze were navigated to the specified region.
