Abstract
Eye tracking systems are often used to monitor various health concerns, but their high cost and requirement for laboratory settings limit their accessibility. To enable more research into eye movement applications in various settings at a low cost, we created a comfortable, wearable device that detects the eye position and calculates the velocity of an eye movement. The device consists of glasses with an adjustable camera that provides an unobstructed view and software that returns a graph of the position and velocity of the eye movement. This device enhances accessibility, diverse non-laboratory use cases, and serves as the building block for future research on eye-tracking technology.
