Special Issue in Eye tracking
Special Issue "Latest Research on Eye Tracking Applications" (Applied Sciences, ISSN 2076-3417, IF:2.7), Section "Computing and Artificial Intelligence"
Eye tracking constitutes a powerful technology which can be used for the examination of visual behavior and strategy during the observation of different types of (audio)visual stimuli presented either on a digital monitor, in the physical (real world) space, as well as in a virtual/augmented reality environment. At the same time, eye tracking has the potential to enhance the human–computer interaction experience by providing the ability to manipulate modern digital devices with human eyes. Nowadays, considering the huge amount of eye tracking applications available in various and different scientific/research and professional domains, gaze data collection, analysis, visualization, and modeling face several challenges. Such challenges mainly include the manipulation of big gaze data, the performance of remote (through the internet) experimentation, the semantic extraction of valuable knowledge from collected gaze data, gaze data synchronization during combined implementation with other experimental techniques, and real-time and/or post-experimental data collection using low-cost solutions (including webcams).
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original research papers, review studies, and short communications in any field connected to eye tracking research and technology. There is no restriction on the length of the submitted manuscripts. New techniques, methods, procedures, experimental frameworks, and applications related to eye tracking technology and analysis are welcome. Moreover, authors are encouraged to share innovative and open source software (e.g., a toolbox) for gaze data recording, processing, analysis, and/or visualization, as well as open access and well-documented eye tracking datasets acquired over diverse or original types of visual stimuli or conditions.
More specifically, potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Research on eye tracking hardware development
Low-cost eye tracking solutions
Event detection algorithms in eye tracking data
Gaze data analysis and visualization software
Eye tracking in laboratory, real world, and web environment
Human–computer interaction applications
Gaze datasets
Eye tracking studies and applications in different research domains
We welcome comprehensive and systematic literature reviews on any of the aforementioned topics.
