According to commonly consented theories, the minimum hardware requirement for gaze tracker is one camera and two light sources to realize gaze estimation with free head movements. However, in some scenarios such as eye tracking on mobile devices, it is preferable to use less components, especially light sources.

This paper evaluates current gaze estimation methods in a human‑robot interaction setting using the NICO robotic platform. A new annotated dataset was collected, and four state‑of‑the‑art models were tested, showing angular errors comparable to general benchmarks. In the shared workspace, the best median error was 14.57 cm, highlighting practical limitations and prompting recommendations for integrating gaze estimation into HRI systems.

This paper investigates how key factors affect the performance of gaze-based authentication systems. Using a large in-house dataset of 8,849 subjects recorded with Meta Quest Pro–equivalent hardware and a 72 Hz video oculography pipeline, the study evaluates the impact of eye‑tracking signal quality, calibration settings, and simple filtering on neural‑network‑based authentication. The authors present performance results and an analysis of these influences.

GazeDiT is a diffusion model that generates synthetic eye images conditioned on a precise 4‑dimensional gaze vector by using a spatial condition derived from pupil and iris geometry. During training, a frozen SegFormer extracts this geometry from real images, while inference employs a physical eye renderer to produce gaze‑consistent geometries without needing a source image. The model achieves lower tail gaze‑label error than other diffusion baselines and improves downstream eye‑tracking accuracy, reducing error on challenging cases from 3.05° to 2.80°.

EgoHRV is a method that estimates heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) from the gaze cameras in egocentric headsets. It uses a 3D backbone and a low–high decomposition module to extract the blood volume pulse signal from gaze video, and aligns frequency‑domain representations of contact‑based and camera‑derived signals through cross‑domain pretraining. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy for HR and HRV estimation and, when integrated into EgoExo4D’s proficiency estimator, improves accuracy by 17.8%.
