• Abstract: We present PicoEyes, a unified gaze estimation framework that directly predicts all key attributes of gaze, including 3D eye parameters, eye-region segmentation, optical axis, visual axis, and depth maps, from either monocular or binocular inputs. The framework simultaneously addresses calibration, gaze forecasting, and varying device postures, while also supporting 3D eye reconstruction via joint estimation of eye parameters and depth maps in an end-to-end manner. In addition, we introduce a large-scale multi-view near-eye dataset containing comprehensive 2D and 3D annotations under diverse conditions, including train, test, rewear-test, and calibration sessions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PicoEyes achieves state-ofthe-art performance, consistently outperforming both academic and industrial gaze tracking methods across nocalibration, calibration, rewear-after-calibration, and forecasting settings. This work establishes a practical, end-toend paradigm for robust and generalizable gaze estimation in mixed reality (MR) applications.
