Location: Virtual
An immersive (V)irtual/(A)ugmented Reality experience requires
high-resolution display capability and contextual knowledge of user’s
intention to customize the content and display elements. Both these
tasks critically depend on highly accurate eye-tracking
solutions, ideally, ahead of time. Unfortunately, the current
generation of eye-tracking algorithms neither meet the exacting
accuracy/precision demands nor can they reliably predict the
eye-movements. Therefore, we need to push the boundaries of the current
just-in-time eye-tracking solutions in terms of a) accuracy and b)
eye-movement prediction capabilities.
The goal for this workshop is to motivate the broader community of
computer vision and machine learning scientists to actively participate
in developing novel outlooks towards eye-tracking solutions to help
reach the aforementioned goals. Partly, this workshop
is also motivated from the tremendous success of OpenEDS 2019, hosted
at ICCV’19, which witnessed enthusiastic participation from researchers
in different disciplines such as computer vision, machine learning,
eye-tracking and computer graphics. Continuing
with the theme of academic engagement, this year, the workshop will
focus on the emergence of novel sensor technology for eye-tracking and
the wide-scale adoption of eye-tracking in applications ranging from AR,
VR, gaming and health. This workshop will host
two challenges structured around fusing 2D-3D information and
eye-movement prediction research.
This workshop will host two challenges that are structured around 2D
eye-image datasets that we have collected using a prototype VR head
mounted device. More information about these challenges is available at:

** Call for Papers**
In addition to soliciting participation in workshop challenges, the
workshop is also soliciting papers covering a list of topics that are of
particular interest to the domain of Eye-Tracking for VR and AR.
- Eye-tracking in VR/AR applications
- Eye-movement analysis for biometrics, security and privacy
- Eye-tracking in medicine and health care
- Direct gaze-based interaction
- Gaze-detection techniques focusing on robustness to sensor-slippage and noise
- Novel sensors for eye tracking
- Eye-movement prediction for gaze-estimation latency compensation
- Temporal-prediction of eye-movements
- Uncertainty modeling of eye-movement prediction
- 2D/3D information fusion for semantic labeling of point-clouds
- Point-cloud segmentation
