Abstract : Eye movement prediction, a budding technology, peers into the future of human interaction. Tracking our eye movement unlocks exciting possibilities: interfaces anticipating our needs, immersive virtual worlds mirroring our natural focus, and a deeper understanding of cognitive processes. However, the current landscape of eye movement prediction is fraught with challenges. Despite advancements in image processing and machine learning, existing models often struggle with accuracy, the ability to adapt to individual differences, and delivering real-time predictions. Researchers are exploring new avenues, such as gaze-based interaction, personalized eye movement models, and faster algorithms to overcome these challenges. Incorporating these elements into eye movement prediction systems can lead to interfaces that seamlessly respond to the user’s gaze, virtual environments replicating natural exploration, and insights into cognitive function based on gaze patterns. Moreover, developing eye movement prediction algorithms that require fewer resources, like the one presented in this paper, is crucial for making this technology more accessible and widely applicable. By minimizing resource usage in terms of CPU and processing time, these algorithms can be integrated into various devices and applications, from smartphones to virtual reality headsets, enabling a more intuitive and immersive user experience. In summary, the future of eye movement prediction lies in addressing the challenges of accuracy, personalization, and real-time processing, while also focusing on minimizing resource usage and increasing accessibility. Achieving these goals will unlock the full potential of eye movement prediction, transforming how we interact with technology and understand human cognition.
