About the Challenge:

Developing an event-based eye-tracking system presents significant opportunities in diverse fields, notably in consumer electronics and neuroscience. Human eyes exhibit rapid movements, occasionally surpassing speeds of 300°/s. This necessitates using event cameras capable of high-speed sampling and tracking.

In consumer electronics, particularly in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications, the primary benefits of event-based systems extend beyond their high speed. Their highly sparse input data streams can be exploited to reduce power consumption. This is a pivotal advantage in creating lighter, more efficient wearable headsets that offer prolonged usage and enhanced user comfort.

This is instrumental in augmenting the immersive experience in AR/VR and expanding the capabilities of portable technology. In neuroscience and cognitive studies, such technology is crucial for deciphering the complexities of eye movement. It facilitates a deeper comprehension of visual attention processes and aids in diagnosing and understanding neurological disorders.

This challenge aims to develop an **event-based eye-tracking system for precise tracking of rapid eye movements** to produce lighter and more comfortable devices for a better user experience. Simultaneously, it promises to provide novel insights into neuroscience and cognitive research, deepening our understanding of these domains.
