• Resumen

  • A "cognitive activity tracker" developed by Kai Kunze at Osaka Prefecture University in Japan can tell how many words people read, how often and how fast they read, and even whether they are skim reading or actually concentrating on the content. It could also generate summaries of documents as they read them by logging which passages their eyes dwell on. Swedish firm Tobii Technology is leading the way in commercializing the technology. It has developed a $99 system that uses infrared cameras trained on the cornea to watch for the eyeball's movements. These cameras can be built into a headset, such as Google Glass, or clipped to the top of a computer screen or tablet.
