Electric Charge Variation Sensors Achieve 74.5% Eye Tracking Accuracy across 57 Real-World Scenarios with Smart Glasses
Recent advances seek to track eye movements using subtle changes in electric charge, offering a potentially seamless and low-power alternative to traditional eye-tracking technologies. Alan Magdaleno, Pietro Bonazzi, and Tommaso Polonelli, all from ETH Z ̈urich, alongside Michele Magno and colleagues, now present a comprehensive field evaluation of this contactless electrooculography technique, assessing its performance in real-world conditions.
