Eye Tracker

 

Description

In our department, the stationary system is primarily used for cognitive research. The systems samples with a rate of 120 Hz. Thereby it tracks gaze parameters like the duration and location of fixations as well as saccade length and pupil size. The mobile Eye Tracking Glasses are mainly used in applied research and dynamic contexts outside the lab.

Application

Research with the stationary system focuses mostly on memory processes as well as processes of diagnostic reasoning. In addition, the field of usability research, for example the evaluation of websites, holds interesting scopes of applications for the stationary system as well. The mobile Eye tracking glasses are mainly used for dynamic settings with large and non-predefined areas of interest. Examples are driving simulator studies, on-road studies in real traffic or usability research in field tests. Glance behavior is highly relevant for research on attention, safety and human-machine-interaction in general.
