Abstract
We have witnessed the use of eye-trackers in various branches of health science to understand the cognitive and psychological behaviors of humans. There is a promising gap in the use of eye-tracking technologies in supporting vision experts. There are two sides of a coin in vision field for eye-tracking technologies. On one side of the coin, we have identified the stakeholders, challenges in the use of eye-trackers, and argued for the objective measurements from eye-trackers with the help of literature, interviews, and meetings with vision experts. On the other side of the coin, important challenges pose to extract meaningful gaze metrics from the raw data.
At the HVL Bergen campus, we are developing a framework that encompasses the pipeline to ingest the data and generate objective measurements such as visualization and statistics. In this talk, I will present our findings on the first side of the coin and discuss the work in progress on the second side of the coin. The framework is in its final stages and will be beneficial not only for researchers working in vision but can also be modified according to the specific work under consideration.
About the speaker
Qasim Ali is a PhD research fellow at HVL, working on the research project "Eye-tracking Technologies for Oculomotor Problems." He takes a special interest in the use of eye-tracking not only in vision science but also in other fields to explore the potential of eye-trackers. Additionally, he is exploring Virtual Reality (VR) HMD’S with embedded eye-trackers to understand how VR can be state-of-the-art for vision therapy.
