How robust are wearable eye trackers to slow and fast head and body movements?
(2023) In Behavior Research Methods 55(8).- Abstract
How well can modern wearable eye trackers cope with head and body movement? To investigate this question, we asked four participants to stand still, walk, skip, and jump while fixating a static physical target in space. We did this for six different eye trackers. All the eye trackers were capable of recording gaze during the most dynamic episodes (skipping and jumping). The accuracy became worse as movement got wilder. During skipping and jumping, the biggest error was 5.8 ∘. However, most errors were smaller than 3 ∘. We discuss the implications of decreased accuracy in the context of different research scenarios.
