Summary

Recently developed wearable devices that combine eye tracking with world-facing video cameras and some form of positional tracking allow for robust field recordings of head movement, eye movement, and the visual environment outside the lab. Several roadblocks to collecting high-quality data with these devices are present and largely tied to physical design of the device. These include device slippage, or movement of the device as it is worn; device weight, as discomfort and altered kinematics can be a consequence of a too-heavy device; and adjustability of the device to account for individual differences in anatomy. We have designed head-mounted wearables previously, and here we explore the strengths and drawbacks of several preliminary iterations of our research group's head-worn devices.
