ABSTRACT
In this paper we assess the performance of an open-source gaze tracker in a remote (i.e. table-mounted) setup, and compare it with two other commercial eye trackers. An experiment with 5 subjects showed the open-source eye tracker to have a significantly higher level of accuracy than one of the commercial systems, Mirametrix S1, but also a higher error rate than the other commercial system, a Tobii T60. We conclude that the web-camera solution may be viable for people who need a substitute for the mouse input but cannot afford a commercial system.

Comparison of Webcam and Remote Eye Tracking
ETRA '22: 2022 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and ApplicationsWe compare the measurement error and validity of webcam-based eye tracking to that of a remote eye tracker as well as software integration of both. We ran a study with n = 83 participants, consisting of a point detection task and an emotional visual ...
Low-cost gaze interaction: ready to deliver the promises
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsEye movements are the only means of communication for some severely disabled people. However, the high prices of commercial eye tracking systems limit the access to this technology. In this pilot study we compare the performance of a low-cost, webcam-...
Eye-based head gestures
ETRA '12: Proceedings of the Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and ApplicationsA novel method for video-based head gesture recognition using eye information by an eye tracker has been proposed. The method uses a combination of gaze and eye movement to infer head gestures. Compared to other gesture-based methods a major advantage ...
