Abstract

We built a novel setup to record large gaze shifts (up to 140[Formula: see text]). The setup consists of a wearable eye tracker and a high-speed camera with fiducial marker technology to track the head. We tested our setup by replicating findings from the classic eye-head gaze shift literature. We conclude that our new inexpensive setup is good enough to investigate the dynamics of large eye-head gaze shifts. This novel setup could be used for future research on large eye-head gaze shifts, but also for research on gaze during e.g., human interaction. We further discuss reference frames and terminology in head-free eye tracking. Despite a transition from head-fixed eye tracking to head-free gaze tracking, researchers still use head-fixed...

We built a novel setup to record large gaze shifts (up to 140[Formula: see text]). The setup consists of a wearable eye tracker and a high-speed camera with fiducial marker technology to track the head. We tested our setup by replicating findings from the classic eye-head gaze shift literature. We conclude that our new inexpensive setup is good enough to investigate the dynamics of large eye-head gaze shifts. This novel setup could be used for future research on large eye-head gaze shifts, but also for research on gaze during e.g., human interaction. We further discuss reference frames and terminology in head-free eye tracking. Despite a transition from head-fixed eye tracking to head-free gaze tracking, researchers still use head-fixed eye movement terminology when discussing world-fixed gaze phenomena. We propose to use more specific terminology for world-fixed phenomena, including gaze fixation, gaze pursuit, and gaze saccade.
