Arbetet undersöker hur spelare förhåller sig till utformningen av manliga och kvinnliga karaktärer som till olika grad sexualiseras, och huruvida det finns några skillnader mellan manliga och kvinnliga spelares reaktioner. Arbetet utgår ifrån the Gaze teorin där något utformas för att tilltala en antagen betraktare, oftast syftat på kvinnor i media som gestaltas och utformas för att tilltala en heterosexuell manlig betraktare, men i detta arbete tillämpas båda könen både på karaktärerna och betraktaren. Arbetet tar även genusstereotyper i åtanke då dessa anknyter till hur manliga och kvinnliga karaktärer porträtteras i media. Arbetets undersökning igenomfördes med hjälp av åtta par karaktärer, den ena manlig och den andra kvinnlig med samma pose med samma utseende, som användes som material för en enkätundersökning på internet. I enkäten ombads respondenterna att ange huruvida de fann en karaktär negativ eller positiv, samt varför. Medan resultaten ifrån undersökningen var mångtydliga, ger den fortfarande en intressant inblick i hur reaktionerna mot en karaktär kan skifta på grund av karaktärens kön, och hur genusstereotyper kan påverka våran uppfattning.

Binocular eye-gaze tracking can be used to estimate the point-of-gaze (POG) of a subject in real-world three-dimensional (3D) space using the vergence of the eyes. In this thesis, a novel non-contact, model-based technique for 3D POG estimation is presented. The non-contact system allows people to select real-world objects in 3D physical space using their eyes, without the need for head-mounted equipment. Using a model-based POG estimation algorithm allows for free head motion and a single stage of calibration. The users were free to naturally move and reorient their heads while operating the system, within an allowable headspace of 3.2 x 9.2 x 14 cm. A rela tively high precision, as measured by the standard deviation of the 3D POG estimates, was measured to be 0.26 cm and was achieved with the use of high speed sampling and digital filtering techniques. When observing points in a 3D volume, large head and eye rotations are far more common than when observing a 2D screen. A novel corneal reflection pattern matching algorithm is presented for increasing image feature tracking reliability in the presence of large eye rotations. It is shown that an average accuracy of 3.93 cm was achieved over seven different subjects and a workspace volume of 30 x 23 x 25 cm (width x height x depth). An example application is presented illustrating the use of the 3D POG as a human computer interface in a 3D game of Tic-Tac-Toe on a 3 x 3 x 3 volumetric display.
