8. Review Recommendation #2 Recommendation 2: Consistently with the contract, the objectives of the COGAIN NoE of Annex I and the WP2, it is recommended that the consortium gives the second highest priority to the design and implementation of a concrete approach to standardization aiming to fostering the interoperability between the hardware and software components enabling gaze-based communications. This approach should include, but is not limited to: derive a realistic work plan from the "Standardization roadmap" proposed so far; defines the landmarks and success indicators towards the concerned standardization bodies; the detailed assessment of the resources necessary for the standardization approach; the priorities of the standardization strategy as far as gaze-based communication is concerned; anticipation of how the COGAIN Association will replace the COGAIN NoE for the continuation of the standardization work that must be integrated into the agreement mentioned in the recommendation #1 above.

9. Different Problems, Different Solutions

10. Standards: Time and Effort COGAIN NoE has a limited timespan COGAIN Association has limited resources (at least initially) We need a lean, cost-effective, process Open to external collaborations Open to inputs from user communities and industries Exploiting the expertise of the partners

11. Transitioning to the Association Standardization Roadmap v3.0 designed to be compatible with the COGAIN Association constraints COGAIN Association is going to incorporate the Standardization Roadmap into its Research Roadmap COGAIN NoE sent a proposed Roadmap to the Association Mainly editorial and formal changes On-going activities will continue, at least on the 4 main topics

12. Review Recommendation #2

13. COGAIN Association to develop standard for Infrared Safety – exposure for extended periods of time

15. COGAIN Association to develop standard for the measurement of Eye Tracker Accuracy, Precision and Specifications. Technical committee formed 15 committee members and many more sub committee members. Lund University has invested a 6 month position to this work. Actively seeking funding The first committee meeting held on 21st august, in Marseille, to coincide with ECEM 2011 Were invited to give a plenary talk on this COGAIN standard at ECEM too, followed by a panel discussion.

35. 86% of the maximum heart rate with StepperEstimated maximum heart rate: 220 – age. “When doing rehabilitation not everything is as much fun. Then it is nice to have a little competition. When having gone through a heart attack it is not always desired to go down to the gym and exercise. There has to be something to “spice it up”, and I think that the tiles makes this possible”.
