Abstract

Smooth pursuit eye movements anticipate the future motion of targets when future motion is either signaled by visual cues or inferred from past history. To study the effect of anticipation derived from movement planning, the eye pursued a cursor whose horizontal motion was controlled by the hand via a mouse. The direction of a critical turn was specified by a cue or was freely chosen. Information from planning to move the hand (which itself showed anticipatory effects) elicited anticipatory smooth eye movements, allowing the eye to track self-generated target motion with virtually no lag. Lags were present only when either visual cues or motor cues were removed. The results show that information derived from the planning of movement is as effective as visual cues in generating anticipatory eye movements. Eye movements in dynamic environments will be facilitated by collaborative anticipatory movements of hand and eye. Cues derived from movement planning may be particularly valuable in fast-paced human-computer interactions.

Smooth pursuit detection based on multiple observers
ETRA '16: Proceedings of the Ninth Biennial ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications

While many elaborate algorithms to classify eye movements into fixations and saccades exist, detection of smooth pursuit eye movements is still challenging. Smooth pursuits do not occur for the predominantly studied static stimuli; for dynamic stimuli, ...
Smooth-i: smart re-calibration using smooth pursuit eye movements
ETRA '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications

Eye gaze for interaction is dependent on calibration. However, gaze calibration can deteriorate over time affecting the usability of the system. We propose to use motion matching of smooth pursuit eye movements and known motion on the display to ...
