Using a wearable eye-tracking device on bicyclists to explore the possibity of measuring motorcyclist eye movements.

This study was aimed at exploring the possibility of using the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 wearable eye-tracker to measure motorcyclists’ eye movements. . Because of ethical considerations, this study used bicycles to ascertain whether the eye-tracker might be usable in the conditions one would encounter on a motorcycle. Fifteen participants were asked to wear the eye-tracker under a full-face helmet whilst completing a preset course. The percentage of eye movements that were found, were compared to baseline conditions, namely indoors, where lighting conditions were ideal for the eye-tracker. Results show that the percentages of eye movements found on the participants outdoors was significantly lower than the percentages that were found in the baseline conditions.
