Abstract: [Problem(s) to be solved] To provide an eye contact detection device that achieves man-machine interface based on eye contact. [Means for solving problem(s)] An eye contact detection device according to the present invention includes: a light emitting element 200 for emitting light from an opening 260 in an optical axis direction; a light receiving element 220 for receiving light emitted from the light emitting element 200 and reflected off by the eyeball E of user to output an electrical signal in accordance with the received light; a detection circuit 230 for amplifying and binarizing an analog electrical signal output from the light receiving element 220, and an eye contact determination unit 240 for determining the presence or absence of eye contact of user U based on a detection signal output from the detection circuit 230.

Abstract: An evaluating method can be performed by a computer. The method includes acquiring two-dimensional data represented by a plurality of character types, converting the two-dimensional data to three-dimensional data by classifying the acquired two-dimensional data into a dimension of the plurality of character types, analyzing a feature of the three-dimensional data, and evaluating input data described in the plurality of character types based on the analyzed feature.
