Scalable Webcam Eye Tracking by Learning from User Interactions
Abstract
Eye tracking systems are commonly used in a variety of research domains, but cost thousands of dollars. In my thesis I investigate a new approach to enable eye tracking for common webcams. The aim is to provide a natural experience to everyday users that are not restricted to laboratories and highly controlled studies. The accuracy of eye tracking webcams will be improved by user interactions which continuously calibrate the eye tracker during regular usage. Eye tracking can become a reality for many potential applications such as large-scale naturalistic user studies, online gaming, or enabling people to perform hands-free navigation of websites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
