When combined with world model items, faceLAB clearly shows the gaze intersection with specific items within the environment in real time. faceLAB™ 4 uses an active illumination technique, increasing the fidelity and accuracy of gaze assessment. Track each eye independently, and if the subject is close enough, even track pupil size and vergence. If conditions degrade, faceLAB™ continues to maintain the confidence of its classic, robust tracking system by default. Analyse and model fatigue and drowsiness in real-time with faceLAB™'s true blink analysis and PERCLOS fatigue assessment, including data on the minutia of eyelid behavior. Measurements are taken accurately on eyelid position rather than bright pupil or corneal occlusion.

faceLAB™ has been developed in parallel to the Biometrics industry, with these elements in mind: robustness, tolerance to lighting variation, and establishing reliable, constantly tracking measurements relating to the face. faceLAB™ provide automatic tracking—not just face finding—complete with implicit knowledge of scale, rotation and distance in scene.Automatic acquisition, a wide field of view, and constant evaluation of the scene in view, faceLAB™ technology is uniquely situated to prototype improvements to existing facial recognition.

Ubiquitous human-machine interaction of the future may require knowledge of what a person is doing—what is holding their attention, their focus. faceLAB™ captures this information in real-time, requiring only the presence of the operator and the click of a button to get instantaneous feedback on eye gaze, head pose and even eye blinks.
New in faceLAB™ v4 is implicit knowledge of search regions for the eyes and also the mouth—perfect for reducing the search region for lip tracking systems or psycholinguistic applications and further vision processing.
Whether your application is to study and evaluate the behaviour of a web page or application interface, or to drive one, faceLAB™ has the accuracy, robustness and ease of use to make it happen. Designed with difficult environmental conditions in mind—such as in a moving car, the same level of fast response and quick recovery can be used in many application environments. Unfettered by helmets, cables or other cumbersome apparatus, those interacting with the system need not even be aware that the eye, blink and head tracking system is in use—it becomes simply a natural channel for human-machine interaction.

Some of the core technology found in faceLAB™ originated in the Australian National University Systems Robotics laboratory. Designed with robot-human interaction in mind, faceLAB's™ facial acquisition and tracking capability can bridge critical gaps in communication:
* Where is the face of the person communicating with me?
* What is holding their attention?
* Are they looking at me?
* What do they want me to interact with?

faceLAB's™ unique tracking system is a perfect fit for civilian and military aerospace simulation, training and multi-function display evaluation.
Get clean, automated data transmission on pilot or systems operator behaviour—in real-time.

faceLAB™ produces accurate data on-time, in the toughest of tracking environments. From outdoor intelligent vehicle or aerospace studies through to screen & web usability, stimulus response and laboratory environments, faceLAB™ provides high accuracy and tolerance to a wide range of operational conditions.
faceLAB provides direct integration with custom simulators, enabling gaze fixation and head pose information to be translated into 3D simulator information.

Eye tracking and the study of infants and children long been plagued with difficult to use, cumbersome hardware, long setup times and of course, often uncooperative subjects. This latest release of faceLAB™ is the first to offer features specifically aimed at reducing the complexity and hassle in obtaining reliable and useful data in psychology studies of infants and children, as well as adults.
faceLAB™ utilizes special tracking techniques to enable easy tracking of child subjects.
