Abstract
Eye tracking has been used extensively in research,
often for plotting the gaze location of research participants. Many
of the existing methods on tracking gaze locations, however,
require special equipment. This equipment can be very expensive
and/or cumbersome to use, restricting the use of it to specialist
labs. By producing a method of eye tracking which requires
minimal equipment and set up time, eye tracking might be more
widely used as a research tool, especially in exploratory areas
where the outcomes of the research are not known. This paper
introduces two novel eye tracking methods which use only a
webcam feed as input and require no specialist equipment. The
camera used in this research is a standard webcam built into a
normal laptop; any current commercial webcam could be used.
Experiments using the proposed method showed more accurate
tracking results than some existing eye trackers.
