When the Turner and IMG co-produced ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational 2018 begins on Friday, studio analysts will be keeping their eyes on the competitors’ eyes. A new set of eye-tracking metrics will be used to measure each gamer’s visual behavior.
Using micro projectors and sensors supplied by the Tobii Group and computing power from Dell Gaming, each player’s eye movements will be recorded. Live action won’t appear any different to viewers, but studio analysis will include overlays during Dell “Getting Technical” segments.
Prior to a match, gamers will sit in front of their screens and undergo a series of tests that help the eye-tracking system calibrate for typical retina movements.
