'Superhuman vision': Powerful 3D imaging technology paves way for next-generation eye-tracking
- Researchers at the University of Arizona revealed a deflectometry-based method for improved eye tracking, published in *Nature Communications*.
- Existing eye-tracking captures limited data, so integrating deflectometry with computation enhances accuracy.
- The new method tracks gaze direction, achieving accuracies between 0.46 and 0.97 degrees in tests.
- Willomitzer states they can gather data from over 40,000 points using this deflectometry-based approach.
- This innovation may revolutionize eye-tracking, enabling next-generation applications and further research.

New 3D technology paves way for next-generation eye-tracking
By integrating powerful 3D imaging technology with advanced computation, researchers can capture gaze direction information from tens of thousands of surface points on the eye instead of about a dozen used by conventional eye-tracking methods. The technique could boost eye-tracking accuracy in a variety of fields ranging from the entertainment industry to medical research and industrial engineering.


Scientists achieve breakthrough in eye movement detection technology
Eye tracking plays a critical role in the latest virtual and augmented reality headsets and is an important technology in the entertainment industry, scientific research, medical and behavioral sciences, automotive driving assistance and industrial engineering.
