Understanding How Low Vision People Read Using Eye Tracking

R. Wang, L. Zeng, et al.

This research by Ru Wang, Linxiu Zeng, Xinyong Zhang, Sanbrita Mondal, and Yuhang Zhao delves into the reading experiences of low vision individuals. By employing an improved calibration interface with commercial eye trackers, the study uncovers unique gaze patterns and the challenges faced by low vision readers, paving the way for innovative gaze-based technologies.

Abstract
Low vision individuals, while able to read with screen magnifiers, often experience slow and unpleasant reading. This research investigates how to effectively collect gaze data from low vision users using commercial eye trackers and explores their reading challenges through gaze behavior analysis. An improved calibration interface was used to collect gaze data from 20 low vision participants and 20 sighted controls during reading tasks. The study found that commercial eye trackers can collect comparable quality data from both groups with an accessible calibration interface. Unique gaze patterns in low vision readers were identified, providing design implications for gaze-based low vision technology.
