Gaze Prediction in Virtual Reality Without Eye Tracking Using Visual and Head Motion Cues

Jan 26, 2026

This work proposes a lightweight multimodal approach to accurately predict user gaze direction in virtual reality scenarios where eye-tracking hardware is unavailable or restricted by privacy constraints—a critical capability for techniques such as foveated rendering. The method uniquely integrates head-mounted display (HMD) motion signals with visual saliency cues from video frames by leveraging UniSal for visual feature extraction and combining TSMixer with LSTM to construct a temporal prediction module. Experiments on the EHTask dataset and commercial VR devices demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms baseline methods such as Center-of-HMD and Mean Gaze, achieving high prediction accuracy, low latency, and practical deployability without requiring eye-tracking data, thereby enhancing the naturalness and efficiency of VR interactions.
