3D point of gaze estimation using head-mounted RGB-D cameras

Published:22 October 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a low-cost, wearable headset for 3D Point of Gaze (PoG) estimation in assistive applications. The device consists of an eye tracking camera and forward facing RGB-D scene camera which, together, provide an estimate of the user gaze vector and its intersection with a 3D point in space. The resulting system is able to compute the 3D PoG in real-time using inexpensive and readily available hardware components.
