Eye tracking gaze visualiser: eye tracker and experimental software independent visualisation of gaze data
Pages 259 - 262
Abstract
Eye tracking research in disciplines such as cognitive psychology requires specific software packages designed for experiments supporting reaction time measurement, blocking and mixing of conditions and item randomisation. Although recording raw eye movement data is possible, its visualisation is difficult regarding the experimental design. The currently used eye tracking software is often built as an all-in-one program that can only visualise the eye tracking data recorded by itself. Therefore, in this paper a software tool is presented that visualises nearly any recorded eye tracking gaze data on the corresponding video independent of the specific software that runs the experiment. Summarised visualisations over randomised item presentations according to experimental conditions can be created. In addition to basic visualisation functionalities, further features such as simple object detection, repetitive pattern exploration and subset selection of subjects are provided.

Recommendations
An eye tracking dataset for point of gaze detection
ETRA '12: Proceedings of the Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and ApplicationsThis paper presents a new, publicly available eye tracking dataset, aimed to be used as a benchmark for Point of Gaze (PoG) detection algorithms. The dataset consists of a set of videos recording the eye motion of human test subjects as they were ...
Eye, Head and Torso Coordination During Gaze Shifts in Virtual Reality
Humans perform gaze shifts naturally through a combination of eye, head and body movements. Although gaze has been long studied as input modality for interaction, this has previously ignored the coordination of the eyes, head and body. This article ...
Eye&Head: Synergetic Eye and Head Movement for Gaze Pointing and Selection
UIST '19: Proceedings of the 32nd Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyEye gaze involves the coordination of eye and head movement to acquire gaze targets, but existing approaches to gaze pointing are based on eye-tracking in abstraction from head motion. We propose to leverage the synergetic movement of eye and head, and ...
