<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A">Dear Sanjaya,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A">one important thing to keep in mind with what you are trying to achieve is that in order to establish the focus point in 3D, the eye tracker has to be a binocular
one. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A">The reason for this is that the focus point in 3D can only be determined automatically, if the eye tracker can calculate the vergence angle between the eyes.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A">This is quite easy to understand if you imagine the gaze vector of one eye as a „beam“ extending out from the eye. The closer an object you focus, the more
inwardly angled this beam will be. However, without the corresponding and e.g. equally inwardly angled beam from the other eye, which then intersects directly in front of your nose, the eye tracker would have no way of knowing that you are focussing on something
in front of you and are not looking at a further away object that is located at an angle from you instead.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A">Some eye tracking manufacturers with monocular eye tracking devices have offline software to match gaze vectors over time to objects, e.g. on a shelf, but this
would not be helpful here, since these offline algorithms reqire offline distance information time courses and then match gaze to objects over time, whereas you would not even have that sort of information in a wearable and thus dynamic scenario.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A">So, in fact, what you wish to do requires a truly binocular wearable eye tracking system, i.e. one with a separate camera for each eye.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I want to record data of the eye movement, finally to get the focus point of vision in 3D space simultaneously with EEG recording. There are some wearable technologies which I can be used for my purpose. But I am concerned any interference
noise caused by the eye tracking device to the EEG measurement.<o:p></o:p></p>
