GazeBaseVR#

GazeBaseVR dataset

GazeBaseVR dataset [Lohr et al., 2023].

This dataset includes binocular plus additional cyclopian eye tracking data from 407 participants captured over a 26-month period. Participants attended up to 3 rounds during this time frame, with each round consisting of two contiguous sessions.

Eye movements are recorded at a sampling frequency of 250 Hz a using SensoMotoric Instrument’s (SMI’s) tethered ET VR head-mounted display based on the HTC Vive (hereon called the ET-HMD) eye tracker and are provided as positional data in degrees of visual angle.

In each of the two sessions per round, participants are instructed to complete a series of tasks, a vergence task (VRG), a smooth pursuit task (PUR), a video viewing task (VID), a reading task (TEX), and a random saccade task (RAN).
