ETRA's aim was to bring together researchers and practitioners from across fields with the common goal of continuing to move eye tracking research forward. RealEye, proud to sponsor this event, engaged with many professionals and demonstrated the capabilities of the webcam-based eye-tracking technology.
During ETRA 2024, RealEye connected with professionals across diverse sectors who appreciated the potential of webcam-based eye tracking. Our technology resonated particularly well with attendees eager to explore its accessibility and accuracy. For example, healthcare professionals were interested in using RealEye for patient interaction studies, while fashion designers saw its potential in improving design ergonomics and consumer preference analysis. Market researchers also recognized its value in understanding consumer behavior through gaze analysis in online ads. These discussions highlighted RealEye's versatility and real-world applicability, reinforcing its role in advancing research and decision-making processes across industries.
Additionally, we had the pleasure of reconnecting with long-term friends, colleagues and clients, whose ongoing support and feedback continue to drive our innovation in eye-tracking technology.
A pivotal moment for RealEye at ETRA 2024 was the presentation of the research poster titled Usability of Responsible Gambling Information on Gambling Operator’ Websites: A Webcam-Based Eye Tracking Study. This study, led by Ruijie Wang and a team from Bournemouth University and Bath Spa University, showed how RealEye's technology can provide valuable insights into user behavior. Meeting Ruijie Wang in person was a privilege, deepening our appreciation for collaborative research opportunities. We conducted a short interview with Ruijie that can be found in the link here.
The interactive and popular Hunt the Dots with RealEye game was a definite highlight at ETRA 2024, combining enjoyment with educational insights. Designed to demonstrate our webcam eye-tracking capabilities, the game served as a tech demo for our future ML-based system. Participants had the opportunity to explore firsthand the intuitive features of our technology, leading to lively discussions and a deeper understanding of its potential applications.
By adding a bit of competition to the game, we saw people start talking about RealEye and encouraging each other to dive into the fun and learn more about webcam eye-tracking. This interactive approach not only enhanced engagement but also facilitated knowledge sharing among attendees. We were excited to award Patriza and Kasra with a 3-month University License for their top-notch performance.
RealEye was honored to participate in the "Diversity and Inclusion in Eye-Tracking Applications" panel discussion alongside distinguished experts such as:

We had an amazing reception at Glasgow's City Chambers hosted by Glasgow's Lord Provost, where we were greeted by two of Glasgow's most distinguished representatives: Bailie Norman MacLeod, representing Glasgow's Lord Provost, and Andrew Macfarlane, who is Glasgow's Lord Dean of Guild of Merchants. We also had a lovely dinner in Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket, where a ceilidh band played Scottish music. The warm hospitality of the organizers made our stay in Glasgow truly memorable and enriched our experience at the conference.
ETRA 2024 was a mix of inspiration, valuable insights, and thoughtful discussions.
