Fascinating stuff!

Eye tracking a pro gamer

This short video features eye tracking for a professional Street Fighter player, and the results are fascinating. Although the player's eyes wander around during the set-up and loading screens, once the game starts, he basically locks his gaze to the center of the screen, barely twitching from there.

At a glance, I believe the player is watching the edges of his screen, and even the characters' movements, mainly with his peripheral vision. You can see his eyes flick back and forth as he predicts the attacks, but overall his focus is impressive.

I would love to see this for some other games, especially for games that I play!
