Popularization - drawing by eyes
Activity aimed at children from 5 to 19, where the eye-tracker is used as a drawing tool. Children connect given points at a screen with their eyes which are tracked. Fixations of eyes are later displayed by software. Presented for example within the Vědohraní event.
