ABSTRACT
To use eye trackers in a school classroom, children need to be able to calibrate their own tracker unsupervised and on repeated occasions. A game designed specifically around the need to maintain their gaze in fixed locations was used to collect calibration and verification data. The data quality obtained was compared with a standard calibration procedure and another game, in two studies carried out in three elementary schools. One studied the effect on data quality over repeated occasions and the other studied the effect of age on data quality. The first showed that accuracy obtained from unsupervised calibration by children was twice as good after six occasions with the game requiring the fixed gaze location compared with the standard calibration, and as good as standard calibration by group of supervised adults. In the second study, age was found to have no effect on performance in the groups of children studied.

Calibration games: making calibration tasks enjoyable by adding motivating game elements
UIST '11: Proceedings of the 24th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyInteractive systems often require calibration to ensure that input and output are optimally configured. Without calibration, user performance can degrade (e.g., if an input device is not adjusted for the user's abilities), errors can increase (e.g., if ...
