ABSTRACT
Mobile gaze-based interaction has been emerging over the last two decades. Head-mounted eye trackers as well as remote systems are used to determine people's gaze (e.g., on a display). However, most state-of-the-art systems need calibration prior to usage. When using a head-mounted eye tracker, many factors (e.g., changes of eye physiology) can influence the stability of the calibration leading to less accuracy over time. Re-calibrating the system at certain time intervals is cumbersome and time-consuming. We investigate methods to minimize the time needed and optimize the process. In a user study with 16 participants, we compared partial re-calibrations with different numbers of calibration points and types of adaptation strategies. In contrast to a full calibration with nine points, the results show that a re-calibration with only three points results in 60% less time needed and achieves a similar accuracy.

Get a grip: slippage-robust and glint-free gaze estimation for real-time pervasive head-mounted eye tracking
ETRA '19: Proceedings of the 11th ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & ApplicationsA key assumption conventionally made by flexible head-mounted eye-tracking systems is often invalid: The eye center does not remain stationary w.r.t. the eye camera due to slippage. For instance, eye-tracker slippage might happen due to head ...
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 ...
Estimating Point-of-Gaze using Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements without Implicit and Explicit User-Calibration
ETRA '20 Short Papers: ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and ApplicationsDetecting the point-of-gaze in the real world is a challenging problem in eye-tracking applications. The point-of-gaze is estimated using geometry constraints, and user-calibration is required. In addition, the distances of the focused targets are ...
