Abstract

Eye tracking is a way to measure human eye movements. By using eye tracking technology, the information related to how human eyes are moving from one location to another location and where the person is looking at any given moment can be understood by researchers. For that reason, many cognitive scientists and engineers have already used the eye tracking technology in their studies. The purpose of this is to address how eye tracking technology has been employed in different fields of study and what eye movements measures have been analyzed to develop applications of the eye tracking technology. In this paper, a systematic review of eye tracking studies has been conducted to support other researchers for selecting appropriate eye tracking devices and methods for their studies. Also, the study highlighted the analysis of eye tracking data in various applications.
