Is eye tracking bad for eyes?
Tobii Eye Tracking devices are using near-infrared illumination to create reflections on the eyes that can be tracked with high accuracy. Light emission that meets this standard is not harmful to the human eye.
What do you need for eye tracking?
An infrared light source (and thus detection method) is necessary as the accuracy of gaze direction measurement is dependent on a clear demarcation (and detection) of the pupil as well as the detection of corneal reflection.
What type of measure is eye tracking?
When we talk about eye tracking, fixations and gaze points are the basic output measures of interest and often the most used terms. Gaze points show what the eyes are looking at. If your eye tracker collects data with a sampling rate of 60 Hz, you will end up with 60 individual gaze points per second.
What is eye tracking in psychology?

When should my baby start tracking with his eyes?

Is eye tracking expensive?
Tracking the user’s eye-gaze information has been techno- logically possible for several decades. However, systems that track eye-gaze are still very expensive. The exorbitant price tag on commercial systems has resulted in limited use of eye-tracking technology.
Is Tobii eye tracking worth it?
Yes, the Windows functionality of the Tobii Eye Tracker is convenient, and works better than the previous version I tested. But where it really shines is in gaming. There’s a solid line-up of games supporting Tobii Eye Tracking, and the effect it has is so awesome it makes it hard to go back.
Do phones track eye movement?
Modern smartphones are capable of accurately tracking the user’s gaze point using the front-facing cameras. Eye tracking is a feature that hasn’t yet been picked up frequently by app developers.
What is an eye tracking problem?
With tracking problems, eye movements are slow, inaccurate, or require head or finger movement to help the eyes track. This can interfere with reading fluency and comprehension, copying, handwriting, and sports performance.
How do you do eye tracking?
The basic concept is to use a light source to illuminate the eye causing highly visible reflections, and a camera to capture an image of the eye showing these reflections. The image captured by the camera is then used to identify the reflection of the light source on the cornea (glint) and in the pupil.
Why do babies stare into your eyes?
Babies go through major periods of growth within their first few months of life. They’re curious about the world, and everything is new to them. They want to interact with people and be social. Your baby may be staring as an early form of communication between them and the huge world around them.
