Improving Focus in Remote Learning Through Eye Tracking

VisualCamp applies AI eye-tracking software to Icecream Home Run
Instantly check learner's focus, drowsiness, and absence through gaze analysis

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] VisualCamp, an eye-tracking company, announced on the 11th that it will apply its AI eye-tracking software SeeSo to Icecream Edu's smart home learning platform HomeRun.

The SeeSo User Status API from VisualCamp, applied this time, is a feature developed to conveniently detect user concentration status on all devices typically equipped with cameras, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. A key characteristic is that it can provide concentration scores, drowsiness, and absence status without the need to interpret or analyze the generated gaze coordinates and fixation values.

The newly launched Icecream HomeRun offers a service that analyzes gaze data to identify learners' concentration patterns and learning styles. Since it accumulates real-time data on learners' state changes during study, the company explains that it can provide more precise personalized education.

They also introduced an eye-tracking brain training game for students with decreased concentration. By having learners find moving target points and fixate on them for a specific time, this interactive method helps improve concentration by aligning the device and the learner’s eyes.

VisualCamp has collaborated with companies providing educational services such as Kyowon, Visang M-Learning, and LG Uplus, developing eye-tracking solutions to complement the limitations of remote education services during COVID-19. Starting with this collaboration with Icecream Edu, they plan to offer services that not only assist learning but also enhance learners' actual learning states, and further research ways to improve reading and learning abilities.

Park Jaeseung, co-founder of VisualCamp, said, "It is meaningful that our eye-tracking technology is supplied to Icecream Edu, which has been leading AI education, to implement differentiated services," adding, "We will continue to strive to become an eye-tracking technology that helps improve learners' learning abilities."

VisualCamp is also collaborating with Icecream Kids, targeting infants and toddlers. Icecream Kids will add a feature that measures the distance between the learning device and the learner’s eyes to provide customized services aimed at preventing vision deterioration.
