Interactive Presentation Award (PC Recommendation), INTERACTION 2025

Junichi Nagasawa’s presentation, “Exploring the Introduction of a Saliency-Map Method for Gaze-Based Personal Identification,” proposed a new approach that applies saliency maps—representations of visually salient regions in images—to personal identification.

The study highlights the potential for more advanced identification methods that balance usability and security.
