Dan, That is really interesting. I would love to do an eye tracking experiment on a work of art and then compare that to the pixel flow. Lets get on this :)

OK — I am not an artist, so I won’t use the right wording here, but…

In art and architecture, one often speaks about how the eye moves over a piece. Techniques like chiaroscuro are used to focus the viewers’ attention, etc.

So the question is this: How well can you use your pixel flow to predict visual flow? Or, alternately, how might a record of eye tracking on an image allow you to back-calculate the pixel flow?

Hi!
Very nice, would be real fun in a live installation :)

Could you a say a bit more in how you’re computing the “pixel flow”?
Is it like optical flow?
Any refs would be appreciated.
