Doodling with the eye-tracker

Doodling with the eye-tracker (while staring at the wall), 2021

The selected drawings below are the outcome of an exploration that transforms the gaze into a method of doodling with eye-tracking technology.

For this specific project, I wore the Pupil Core monocular eye-tracking headset during mundane moments of staring at the wall texture during different times of the day.
Some eye-tracking drawings were eventually overlaid on top of a rough 3D scan of the wall texture.

Two photographs of the wall texture I looked at.
The image on the left shows the wall during daylight, while the image on the right shows the wall when lit via a desk lamp.
