Systems and methods provide for intelligently switching between cloud processing mode and edge processing mode based on a variety of criteria, such as the desired eye-tracker settings (e.g., minimum tracker rate, ideal tracker rate, and processing mode) and the available network capabilities (e.g., latency, bandwidth, and the like). The criteria used for determining whether buffered cloud processing is viable include such parameters as upload bandwidth, tolerable processing delay, buffer drain rate, buffer fill rate, and maximum session duration. The cloud processing system may be used instead of available edge processing in cases where there are benefits to doing so, e.g., the cloud processing system provides added functionality, such as improved data analytics.
An eye-movement data acquisition system comprising:
A method for acquiring eye-movement data, the method comprising:
A decision module for use in connection with an eye-movement data acquisition system of the type comprising an illumination source configured to produce infrared light, a camera assembly configured to receive a portion of the infrared light reflected from a user's face during activation of the infrared illumination source and produce a plurality of image data frames, the decision module comprising:
