  • Eye trackers measure rotations of the eye including but principally three categories: measurement of the movement of an object (normally, a special contact lens) attached to the eye, optical tracking without direct contact to the eye, and measurement of electric potentials using electrodes placed around the eyes.
  • An attachment to the eye such as a special contact lens with an embedded mirror or magnetic field sensor, and the movement of the attachment is measured with the assumption that it does not slip significantly as the eye rotates.
  • Measurements with tight fitting contact lenses have provided extremely sensitive recordings of eye movement, and magnetic search coils are the method of choice for researchers studying the dynamics and underlying physiology of eye movement. It allows the measurement of eye movement in horizontal, vertical and torsion directions.
  • a non-contact optical method for measuring eye motion is reflected from the eye and sensed by a video camera or some other specially designed optical sensor. The information is then analyzed to extract eye rotation from changes in reflections.
  • Video- based eye trackers may use the corneal reflection and the center of the pupil as features to track over time, wherein uses reflections from the front of the cornea and the back of the lens as features to track.
  • a still more sensitive method of tracking is to image features from inside the eye, such as the retinal blood vessels, and follow these features as the eye rotates.
  • the device uses electric potentials measured with electrodes placed around the eyes, the eyes are the origin of a steady electric potential field, which can also be detected in total darkness and if the eyes are closed. It can be modelled to be generated by a dipole with its positive pole at the cornea and its negative pole at the retina.
  • the electric signal that can be derived using two pairs of contact electrodes placed on the skin around one eye is called Electrooculogram (EOG). If the eyes move from the centre position towards the periphery, the retina approaches one electrode while the cornea approaches the opposing one, which change in the orientation of the dipole and consequently the electric potential field results in a change in the measured EOG signal. Inversely, by analysing these changes in eye movement can be tracked.
  • EOG Electrooculogram
  • EOG component is the radial EOG channel, which is the average of the EOG channels referenced to some posterior scalp electrode.
  • This radial EOG channel is sensitive to the saccadic spike potentials stemming from the extra-ocular muscles at the onset of saccades, and allows reliable detection of even miniature saccades.
  • EOG Due to potential drifts and variable relations between the EOG signal amplitudes and the saccade sizes make it challenging to use EOG for measuring slow eye movement and detecting gaze direction, a very robust technique for measuring saccadic eye movement associated with gaze shifts and detecting blinks. Contrary to video-based eye-trackers, EOG allows recording of eye movements even with eyes closed, and can thus be used in sleep research. It is a very light-weight approach that, i contrast to current video-based eye trackers, only requires very low computational power, works under different lighting conditions and can be implemented as an embedded, self-contained wearable system. It is thus the method of choice for measuring eye movement in mobile daily-life situations and phases during sleep.

  • the vector between the pupil center and the corneal reflections can be used to compute the point of regard on surface or the gaze direction.
  • Two types of infrared / near-infrared eye tracking techniques are used: bright-pupil and dark-pupil. If the illumination is coaxial with the optical path, then the eye acts as a retroretlector as the light reflects off the retina creating a bright pupil effect similar to red eye.
  • the pupil appears dark because the retroreflectio from the retina is directed away from the camera.
  • Bright-pupil tracking creates greater iris/pupil contrast, allowing more robust eye tracking with all iris pigmentation, and greatly reduces interference caused by eyelashes and other obscuring features, it also allows tracking in lighting conditions ranging from total darkness to very bright.

  • eye tracking studies can be used to find out in what way advertisements should be mixed with the news in order to catch the subject's eyes. Analyses focus on visibility of a target product or logo in the context of a magazine, newspaper, website, or televised event. They studied what particular features caused people to notice an ad and if they viewed ads in a particular order and how viewing times varied. The study revealed that ad size, graphics, color, and copy all influence attention to advertisements. This allows researchers to assess i great detail how ofte a sample of consumers fixates on the target logo, product or ad. As such, an advertiser can quantify the success of a given campaign in terms of actual visual attention. Another example of this is a study that found that in a search engine results page authorship snippets received more attention than the paid ads or even the first organic result.
