• Abstract: Eye tracking has been found to be useful in various tasks including diagnostic and screening tools. However, traditional eye trackers had a complicated setup and operated at a higher frequency to measure eye movements. The use of more commonly available eye trackers such as those in head-mounted virtual reality (VR) headsets greatly expands the utility of these eye trackers for research and analytical purposes. In this study, the research question is focused on detecting saccades, which is a common task when analyzing eye tracking data, but it is not well-established for VR headset-mounted eye trackers. The aim is to determine how accurately saccadic eye movements can be detected using an eye tracker that operates at 60 or 90Hz. The study involves VR eye tracking technology and neuroscience with respect to saccadic eye movements. The goal is to build prototype software implemented using VR eye tracking technology to detect saccadic eye movements, and per-eye differences in an individual. It is anticipated that the software will be able to accurately detect when saccades occur and analyze the differences in saccadic eye movements per-eye. The field of research surrounding VR eye tracking software is still developing rapidly, specifically its applications to neuroscience. Since previous methods of eye tracking involved specialized equipment, using commercially and consumer available VR eye tracking technology to assist in the detection of saccades and per-eye differences would be novel. This project will impact the field of neuroscience by providing a tool that can be used to detect saccadic eye movements and neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. However, this project is limited by the short time frame and that the eye tracker used in this study operates at a maximum frequency of 90Hz.

  EyeTrAES is a novel approach using neuromorphic event cameras for high-fidelity tracking of natural pupillary movement. We show that EyeTrAES boosts pupil tracking fidelity by 6+%, achieving IoU=92%, while incurring at least 3x lower latency than competing pure event-based eye tracking alternatives. For robust user authentication, we train a lightweight per-user Random Forest classifier using a novel feature vector of short-term pupillary kinematics.

Our method, NeuralFeels, encodes object geometry by learning a neural field online and jointly tracks it by optimizing a pose graph problem. Our results demonstrate that touch, at the very least, refines and, at the very best, disambiguates visual estimates during in-hand manipulation.
