What is EyeSee3D?

EyeSee3D is a software suits that allows you to analyze eye gaze in 3D environments. It makes use of existing mobile eye-tracking glasses but offers an alternative to their scene-camera-based approach for gaze analysis.

The general idea of EyeSee3D is to make use of a 3D model of the target environment, which represents the relevant objects (in terms of gaze analysis often called areas of interest, yet in this context they should better be called objects of interest). By determining the position and orientation of the eye-tracking glasses in this 3D model, the fixated objects can be easily determined and labelled automatically. Please view our videos to get a better impression. If you are seeking for more in-depth details about the techniques, you might be interested in reading our publications.

EyeSee3D will not be applicable to every and all situation in which you might want to analyze eye gaze. If, however, it can be applied, the analysis will be more swiftly as using manual annotations.

Preconditions for using EyeSee3D

At the time being (March 2016), EyeSee3D supports the mobile eye-tracking glasses from SensoMotoric Instruments GmbH (SMI) in Germany. However, this is not a principle restriction, but simply based on the availability of the devices to the initial developers.

Support for other eye-tracking glasses is highly requested and may be added in the future. If you are interested in implementing support for the devices available to you, please contact us.
