EyeRecToo: Open-source Software for Real-time Pervasive Head-mounted Eye Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Head-mounted eye tracking offers remarkable opportunities for research and applications regarding pervasive health monitoring, mental state inference, and human computer interaction in dynamic scenarios. Although a plethora of software for the acquisition of eye-tracking data exists, they often exhibit critical issues when pervasive eye tracking is considered, e.g., closed source, costly eye tracker hardware dependencies, and requiring a human supervisor for calibration. In this paper, we introduce EyeRecToo, an open-source software for real-time pervasive head-mounted eye-tracking. Out of the box, EyeRecToo offers multiple real-time state-ofthe-art pupil detection and gaze estimation methods, which can be easily replaced by user implemented algorithms if desired. A novel calibration method that allows users to calibrate the system without the assistance of a human supervisor is also integrated. Moreover, this software supports multiple head-mounted eye-tracking hardware, records eye and scene videos, and stores pupil and gaze information, which are also available as a real-time stream. Thus, EyeRecToo serves as a framework to quickly enable pervasive eye-tracking research and applications. Available at: available-after-proceedings-publication-february-2017

EyeRec: An Open-source Data Acquisition Software for Head-mounted Eye-tracking
Head-mounted eye tracking offers remarkable opportunities for human computer interaction in dynamic scenarios (e.g., driving assistance). Although a plethora of proprietary software for the acquisition of such eyetracking data exists, all of them are plagued by a critical underlying issue: their source code is not available to the end user. Thus, a researcher is left with few options when facin...
متن کاملLibGaze: Real-time gaze-tracking of freely moving observers for wall-sized displays Vision, Modeling, and Visualization Proceedings
We present a mobile system for tracking the gaze of an observer in real-time as they move around freely and interact with a wall-sized display. The system combines a head-mounted eye tracker with a motion capture system for tracking markers attached to the eye tracker. Our open-source software library libGaze provides routines for calibrating the system and computing the viewer’s position and g...

Knowing the user’s point of gaze has significant potential to enhance current humancomputer interfaces. The primary obstacle of integrating eye movements into interfaces is the availability of a reliable, low-cost open-source eye-tracking system. Towards making such a system available to interface designers, we have developed a hybrid eye-tracking algorithm that integrates feature-based and mod...
