Abstract

Eye gaze tracking is a technique to track an individual’s focus of attention. This paper provides a review on eye gaze trackers (EGTs) classified on the basis of intrusive and non-intrusive techniques. According to the numerous applications of EGTs in human–computer interface, neuroscience, psychology and in advertising and marketing, this paper brings forward a deep insight into recent and future advancements in the field of eye gaze tracking. Finally, comparative analyses on various EGT techniques along with its applications in various fields are discussed.
