Eye Tracking Research Center
Institute of Psychology
Our Eye Tracking Research Center partners with the Eye-Tracking Lab at Clemson University’s School of Computing (EYECU) in South Carolina, USA to carry out basic and applied research on the dynamics of cognitive processes such as gaze capture, human-computer interaction (HCI) – including virtual and mixed reality, multimedia in education, and accessibility of media.
What we do
Research Objectives
The goal of the Eye Tracking Research Center is to further develop the eye-tracking methodology and its applications, through interdisciplinary research projects combining technology with humanities and social sciences.
Members and students of the Eye Tracking Research Center actively participate in academic life and collaborate on research projects with scientists from many countries, including Belgium, Germany, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. We organize and co-organize national and international interdisciplinary conferences on eye-tracking applications in various scientific disciplines, such as one of the key international eye-tracking conferences, the ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications – ETRA, which took place in Warsaw in 2018 and in Denver in 2019, which we co-organized with the Lincoln University Nebraska, and several editions of the Polish Eye-Tracking Conference.
Idea
The Eye Tracking Research Center is not only a research but also an education center. Additionally, the Center supervises a student Oculography Research Club. We carry out research in a unique lab, equipped in several stationary and mobile eye-trackers and tools for researching virtual reality.
