Multidisciplinary Vision Research Laboratory

The Multidisciplinary Vision Research Lab is equipped with a range of eye tracking instrumentation to record and analyze eye movements; including the Applied Science Laboratories Series 5000 (a head-mounted eye tracker that can monitor eye movements at rates up to 240 Hz.

The Multidisciplinary Vision Research Lab is equipped with a range of eye tracking instrumentation to record and analyze eye movements; including the Applied Science Laboratories Series 504 eye tracker which can monitor eye movements from a distance of up to one meter. Stimuli can be presented on a number of displays, ranging from 17" CRTs to a 50" plasma display.

To extend the study of high-level visual perception beyond the laboratory into the real world, the Multidisciplinary Vision Research Laboratory has developed unique instrumentation that measures and records the eye movements without restricting observers' movement. Centered on custom-built headgear that integrates illumination & imaging optics, video instrumentation, and a LASER calibration system, the RIT Wearable Eye Tracker is a self-contained system that monitors and records eye movements of mobile observers. The current system was designed and built by Jason Babcock, Multidisciplinary Vision Research Lab alum and now president of Positive Science.
