Profile – Yunzhan Zhou
Yunzhan Zhou
PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science
He has built a 3D eye-tracking dataset collected when users were navigating through a VR mu-seum. Based on the dataset, He proposed several machine learning and deep learning methods for predicting subsequent visual attention. He is now working on improving the prediction me-thods and understanding the visual attention mechanism in VR.
The dataset can be found here: https://github.com/YunzhanZHOU/EDVAM
