Eye Tracking in Virtual Reality: a Broad Review of Applications and Challenges

Notes

Adhanom, I. B., MacNeilage, P. & Folmer, E. (2023) 'Eye tracking in virtual reality: a broad review of applications and challenges', *Virtual Reality*, 27, pp. 1481–1505. doi: 10.1007/s10055-022-00738-z.

Open-access broad review (University of Nevada, Reno) of eye tracking applications in head-mounted VR. Covers background concepts (eye movement types, VR tracking methods, data quality, calibration), then organises applications into seven areas — display and rendering, user interaction, collaborative virtual environments, education/training/usability, security and privacy, marketing/consumer experience, and clinical — followed by technological, privacy/security and safety challenges. Compiled in full into [[eye-tracking-in-virtual-reality]]; the VR-specific complement to the head-worn XR survey in [[gaze-interaction-in-extended-reality]] (Plopski et al., 2022).

Large PDF (6.15 MB): text extraction succeeded (searchable text, not image-only), so `ocr_status: ok`. The PDF carries no cover-sheet offset but the article is mid-volume: PDF p. 1 = printed p. 1481, so orig. page = PDF page + 1480. The PDF's embedded fonts drop the `fi`/`fl` ligatures on extraction (e.g. "diversied" = diversified), which is a rendering artifact only.
