Ergonomic design development of the Visual Experience Database headset

Abstract

Head-mounted devices allow recording of eye movements, head movements, and scene video outside of the traditional laboratory setting. A key challenge for recording comprehensive first-person stimuli and behavior outside the lab is the form factor of the head-mounted assembly. It should be mounted stably on the head to minimize slippage and maximize accuracy of the data; it should be as unobtrusive and comfortable as possible to allow for natural behaviors and enable longer duration recordings; and it should be able to fit a diverse user population. Here, we survey preliminary design iterations
