An Assessment of the Eye Tracking Signal Quality Captured in the HoloLens 2

Abstract

We present an analysis of the eye tracking signal quality of the HoloLens 2’s integrated eye tracker. Signal quality was measured from eye movement data captured during a random saccades task from a new eye movement dataset collected on 30 healthy adults. We characterize the eye tracking signal quality of the device in terms of spatial accuracy, spatial precision, temporal precision, linearity, and crosstalk. Most notably, our evaluation of spatial accuracy reveals that the eye movement data in our dataset appears to be uncalibrated. Recalibrating the data using a subset of our dataset task produces notably better eye tracking signal quality.
