Application of eye-tracking systems integrated into immersive virtual reality and possible transfer to the sports sector - A systematic review

Abstract In recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) has become a valuable tool in rehabilitation and sports training applications. New technologies offer opportunities to combine various systems use them for sports-related scientific purposes. For instance, examining the visual perception of athletes within standardized environment could be helpful understand differences between novices experts their behavior further reveal possible applications enhancing athletes’ attention. The current systematic literature review thematizes importance eye-tracking (ET) systems’ usage integrated into head-mounted displays (HMDs) virtual environments inclusion usage. An overview implementations is given, additional recommendations using combined technic regarding are made. Although only one study examined gaze during activity environment, 38 relevant papers were identified ET HMDs, which ideas can transferred sector. increased usability fidelity enabled through technology illustrated, different approaches listed calculating parameters. This examines possibility integrating VR, used improve usability, interaction methods, image presentation, analyses future physical scenarios. compiled studies have shown that existing methods feasible due performance but still need improved practical use.
