摘要:
Recently we demonstrated how changes in gaze angle can be determined without an eye-tracker. The approach uses 3D motion-capture, to track the viewed target in the head's reference frame and assumes head or target movement causes a gaze-angle change. This study determined the validity of this "assumed-gaze" method. Participants read information presented on a smartphone whilst walking. Changes in gaze angles were simultaneously assessed with an eye-tracker and our assumed-gaze method. The spatial and temporal agreement of the assumed-gaze approach with the eye-tracker were -1 deg and -0.02 s, respectively, and spatial congruence indicated the direction of changes in the assumed-gaze angle were in accordance with those determined with the eye tracker for -81 % of the time. Findings indicate that when the head is moving and gaze is continually directed to a small target, our assumed-gaze approach can determine changes in gaze angle with comparable precision to a wearable eye-tracker.
