Understanding Screen Coordinates in Gazepoint Data

When you first look at Gazepoint’s eye gaze data you’ll notice that gaze coordinates aren’t reported in pixels. Instead, the FPOGX and FPOGY fields (and similar coordinate outputs) return decimal values between 0.0 and 1.0. This article explains what that range means, why Gazepoint uses it, and how to reliably convert to pixel coordinates for… read more
