ETRA 2012 will be the seventh biennial symposium in a series that focuses on all aspects of eye movement research across a wide range of disciplines. The goal of ETRA is to bring together computer scientists, engineers and behavioral scientists in support of a common vision of moving eye tracking research and its application forward, and expanding its impact.

ETRA 2012 will be held at the Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort in Santa Barbara, CA, USA.

We hope to see you at ETRA 2012!

Carlos and Howell

ETRA 2012 was a great success! 160 people from all continents have come to participate (about 30% increase over the number of participants at ETRA 2010), showing that the interest on eye tracking technology and techniques is still growing everywhere.

We would like to thank each one of the 160 participants, the 119 reviewers, the authors of the 53 long papers and the 101 short papers that were submitted to ETRA 2012, our sponsors, our keynotes, and all the chairs and folks at ACM who helped us putting ETRA 2012 together.

Thank you!
