Overview

Seeing Machines exists to get people home safely by developing and commercialising driver monitoring system technology and products applying eye and face tracking technologies. Data collection captures video, audio and subject metadata (i.e., eye features, age, height, ethnicity etc) to support the development and improvement of our technologies and products. We use real human subjects to train our algorithms and develop the most precise machine-learned solution.

In-vehicle detection study:

This data collection requires 1 participant with a height of 150cm or higher. To ensure we capture sufficient diversity for this project, We're currently seeking participants of African, Polynesian or Central American ethnicity. Participants do not require a driver’s license as the data collection will be performed in a stationary vehicle. Participants will occupy one seat of a test vehicle equipped with cameras and data capture devices and perform a set of activities as instructed by the data collector.

The data collector will be in the test vehicle during the entirety of the data collection session to help instruct you.
