Eye-tracking glasses for linguistic research

UZH researchers are creating a large-scale multilingual reading corpus where eye gaze data from readers in many languages will be made available for research.

The data obtained will provide a valuable basis for research in different disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive psychology, education, and artificial intelligence. In order to enable their European partners from countries such as Latvia, Kosovo, Albania and Serbia where no eyetracking infrastructure is available and for whose languages barely any reading data is available, they are crowd sourcing a pair of eyetracking glasses to lend to their collaborators. To find out more, please visit the crowd sourcing call.
