Who's Watching Big Brother?

When a security guard is trying to watch a bank of up to twenty monitors there is the obvious problem of not being able to see them all at once.  Ulas Vural and Yusuf Akgul of the Gebze Institute of Technology realized this and developed a system which recognizes when a security guard has overlooked particular footage on a particular monitor.  Using web-cam like iris tracking cameras, and some complex software, the system detects when a CCTV operator has his attention focused elsewhere by tracking the direction with which his irises are pointing.  Then, at the end of the operator's shift,  the program compiles a video of all the footage he missed, omitting parts where there are no moving people, cars, or objects.
