This document describes the software framework of an ocular biometric system. The framework encompasses several interconnected components that allow an end-user to perform biometric enrollment, verification, and identification with most common eye tracking devices. The framework, written in C#, includes multiple state-of-the-art biometric algorithms and information fusion techniques, and can be easily extended to utilize new biometric techniques and eye tracking devices.

Demonstrating Eye Movement Biometrics in Virtual Reality

Thanks to the eye-tracking sensors that are embedded in emerging consumer devices like the Vive Pro Eye, we demonstrate that it is feasible to deliver user authentication via eye movement biometrics.

EyeVEIL: degrading iris authentication in eye tracking headsets

This paper presents a low cost solution to degrade iris authentication while still permitting the utility of gaze tracking with acceptable accuracy, and urges the community to think about iris based authentication as a byproduct of eye tracking, and create solutions that empower a user to control this biometric.

An implementation of eye movement-driven biometrics in virtual reality

This work has created a real-time eye movement-driven authentication system for virtual reality devices and describes the architecture of the system and provides a specific implementation that is done using the FOVE head-mounted display.

Eye Movements Biometrics: A Bibliometric Analysis from 2004 to 2019

This research focused on temporal evolution, leading authors, most cited papers, leading journals, competitions and collaboration networks, using a bibliometric approach.

Detecting the onset of eye fatigue in a live framework

The proposed method, which uses fixation data, does not rely as heavily on the sampling rate of the eye tracker as do methods which use saccade data, making it more suitable for lower cost eye trackers such as mobile and wearable devices.
