Eye Tracking - Choosing An Eye Tracker

Choosing An Eye Tracker

One difficulty in evaluating an eye tracking system is that the eye is never still, and it can be difficult to distinguish the tiny, but rapid and somewhat chaotic movement associated with fixation from noise sources in the eye tracking mechanism itself. One useful evaluation technique is to record from the two eyes simultaneously and compare the vertical rotation records. The two eyes of a normal subject are very tightly coordinated and vertical gaze directions typically agree to within +/- 2 minutes of arc (RMS of vertical position difference) during steady fixation. A properly functioning and sensitive eye tracking system will show this level of agreement between the two eyes, and any differences much larger than this can usually be attributed to measurement error.

Famous quotes containing the words choosing and/or eye:

    Although I’ve risen! and my back is bold.
    My tongue is brainy, choosing from among
    Care, rage, surprise, despair, and choosing care.
    I’m semi-splendid within what I’ve defended.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Alas, alas for Hamelin!
    There came into many a burgher’s pate
    A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
    Opes to the rich at as easy rate
    As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
