| description | The rise of Virtual Reality has highlighted eye gaze as a key interaction method. Data reliability becomes critical in this context, with gaze accuracy and precision serving as leading indicators of data quality. This study compared the spatial accuracy and precision of Meta Quest Pro and HTC Vive Focus 3 headsets using eye movement data collected during a subjective experiment involving 30 users. Participants were asked to look at visual stimuli placed in a virtual environment under both head-free and head-constrained conditions. The stimuli were positioned at various locations and distances from the users. The analysis revealed inconsistencies between manufacturer-provided data, obtained under ideal conditions, and data collected in different settings. Moreover, the results showed greater spatial accuracy for Meta Quest Pro and higher spatial precision for HTC Vive Focus 3. This study aims to offer an extensive examination of the performance of these systems, thus assisting researchers in choosing suitable eye-tracking technology for diverse applications. |
