Researchers have developed a privacy-preserving system for analyzing student attention in classrooms using video data. The pipeline extracts skeletal and gaze information, deleting original footage to comply with privacy regulations like FERPA. A large language model, QwQ-32B-Reasoning, then analyzes this data in a zero-shot manner to provide insights on student engagement via a web dashboard. While showing promise for multimodal behavior understanding, the system's LLM component still faces challenges with spatial reasoning related to classroom layouts. AI
