Abstract
A method uses the eye gaze of a user, as a proxy of their attention, and leverages it to provide a more natural experience in a multi-view, i.e. multi-party and multi-perspective, video streaming service. The method takes advantage of increasingly powerful inexpensive cameras and related software to provide commodity eye-tracking. The method also leverages collected data on user interactions and uses machine learning techniques to customize its response to individual usage patterns. A system is specified for implementing the described method on a streaming architecture.
