SynchronEyes: A Novel, Paired Data Set of Eye Movements Recorded Simultaneously with Remote and Wearable Eye-Tracking Devices

Abstract

Comparing the performance of new eye-tracking devices against an established benchmark is vital for identifying differences in the way eye movements are reported by each device. This paper introduces a new paired data set comprised of eye movement recordings captured simultaneously with both the EyeLink 1000—considered the “gold standard” in eye-tracking research studies—and the recently released AdHawk MindLink eye tracker. Our work presents a methodology for simultaneous data collection and a comparison of the resulting eye-tracking signal quality achieved by each device.
