Abstract

Human vision is arguably our most powerful sense, with our eyes constantly darting around in an almost subconscious manner to create a complete picture of the visual scene around us. These movements can unveil information about the way the brain is processing the incoming visual data into its mental image of our surroundings.

In this paper we discuss a method of obtaining and preprocessing the eye movements of a user immersed within a controllable synthetic environment. We investigate how their gaze patterns can be captured and used to identify viewed virtual objects, and how this can be used as a natural method of interacting with the scene.

The Eye in Extended Reality: A Survey on Gaze Interaction and Eye Tracking in Head-worn Extended Reality
With innovations in the field of gaze and eye tracking, a new concentration of research in the area of gaze-tracked systems and user interfaces has formed in the field of Extended Reality (XR). Eye trackers are being used to explore novel forms of spatial ...
Eye, Head and Torso Coordination During Gaze Shifts in Virtual Reality

Humans perform gaze shifts naturally through a combination of eye, head and body movements. Although gaze has been long studied as input modality for interaction, this has previously ignored the coordination of the eyes, head and body. This article ...
An assessment of eye-gaze potential within immersive virtual environments

In collaborative situations, eye gaze is a critical element of behavior which supports and fulfills many activities and roles. In current computer-supported collaboration systems, eye gaze is poorly supported. Even in a state-of-the-art video ...
