Inter-eye: Interactive error compensation for eye-tracking devices

This paper presents a new method for systematic errors compensation in modern eye-tracking devices. Systematic errors, together with repeatability errors, reduce the possible use of eye trackers for several applications such as moving into an indoor environment and enabling the user to indicate precisely the target only with the support of his/her eyes. The new method relies on an interactive procedure that enables the system to accurately estimate the systematic effect in few seconds and thus compensate it in a fast and accurate way. Results show that the uncertainty can be dramatically decreased for a low-cost device on a 17 inches screen from 100 pixels to approximately 15 pixels.
