Universal format for recording and processing gaze data

Abstract

The growing amount of research on human-computer interaction using eye movement! highlights the increasing need lor tools to support investigation of behavior of human eyes. Today. many products are available for researchers, and the quality and accuracy of eye tracking devices constantly increases. Nevertheless, there is still a sharp lack of tools to laeihtale efficient recording and on-line usage of eye-movement data that originates from various eye trackeis To tackle this problem, we developed software having a highly flexible architecture. The software allows easy development of dynamic plug-in modules to support eye tracking hardware as well as experimental applications The software features a unique data formal suitable foi recording and processing gaze data in a standardized manner.
