Eye Gaze Directionality

Eye gaze directionality is another output we get from OpenFace. The variables below allow for measurements of eye gaze behavior.

Raw Variables

VariableDescription
mov_lefteyexx coordinate of the left eye at the current video frame.
mov_lefteyeyy coordinate of the left eye at the current video frame.
mov_lefteyezz coordinate of the left eye at the current video frame.
mov_righteyexx coordinate of the right eye at the current video frame.
mov_righteyeyy coordinate of the right eye at the current video frame.
mov_righteyezz coordinate of the right eye at the current video frame.
mov_leyedispEuclidean displacement in the left eye gaze at the current video frame; this tells the overall movement in eye gaze direction in each frame.
mov_reyedispEuclidean displacement in the right eye gaze at the current video frame; this tells the overall movement in eye gaze direction in each frame.
