Gaze Sharing, a Double-Edged Sword: Examining the Effect of Real-Time Gaze Sharing Visualizations on Team Performance and Situation Awareness

1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States

Eye tracking research has shown that teammates in complex systems often exhibit overlapping eye gaze during critical moments of operation. This finding has driven the development of a new emerging technology called gaze sharing, which involves real-time visualization of team members’ eye movements on their respective displays. Initial evaluations of gaze sharing have primarily focused...

Exact Label Recovery in Euclidean Random Graphs

1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States

In this paper, we propose a family of label recovery problems on weighted Euclidean random graphs. The vertices of a graph are embedded in R^d according to a Poisson point process and are assigned to a discrete community label. Our goal is to infer the vertex labels, given edge weights whose distributions depend on the...
