Abstract

Eye-tracking
technology allows special and applied research in sport and exercise psychology
field. This technology, already constantly developing, offers thrilling
opportunities for natural gaze and eye movement behavior studies of elite and
amateur athletes. Though the idea of observing or tracking the eye movements
seems simple, the technology behind is quite complicated and sensitive. Also,
it necessitates substantial knowledge and experience in both hardware and
software. The high cost of eye-tracking and the long time allocated for data
analyses requires efficient use of resources. The purpose of this paper is to
present basic information to those aiming to study eye-tracking system in the
field of sport science. It is expected to help beginners answer the questions
considering eye-tracking research and give an idea on how to start.

GÖZ TAKİP SİSTEMİNİN (EYE TRACKER) SPOR BİLİMİNDE KULLANILMASI: YENİ ARAŞTIRMACILAR İÇİN KILAVUZ

Abstract

Göz takip teknolojisi, spor ve egzersiz
psikolojisi alanında özel ve uygulamalı birçok çalışma yapılabilmesine imkan
tanımaktadır. Sürekli gelişmekte olan bu teknoloji, elit ve amatör sporcuların
doğal çevrede gerçekleşen görme ve göz hareketleri davranışlarının
araştırılması için heyecan verici imkanlar sunmaktadır. Ancak göz hareketlerini
izleme fikri oldukça basit olsa da arkasındaki teknoloji oldukça karmaşık ve hassastır.
Ayrıca, göz takip sistemini etkin kullanabilmek için ciddi bir bilgi birikimi
ve tecrübe gerekmektedir Göz takip sisteminin çok pahalı olması ve elde edilen
verilerin analizinin oldukça uzun sürede tamamlanmasından dolayı, söz konusu
sistemlere ayrılan kaynakların etkin şekilde kullanılmasını zorunlu
kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, göz takip sistemi ile spor bilimleri alanında
çalışma yapacak araştırmacılara temel bilgilerin kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu makalenin, göz
takip sistemi ile çalışmaya başlayacak araştırmacıların zihinlerinde
oluşabilecek soru işaretlerinin cevaplanmasına ve nasıl bir başlangıç yapmaları
gerektiği hususunda fikir sahibi olmalarına yardımcı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
