About

Jimin Pi is a leading researcher in the fields of mobile eye tracking and 3D gaze estimation, with a focus on integrating computer vision and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques. Their most cited work, "SLAM-based localization of 3D gaze using a mobile eye tracker" (2018, 43 citations), addresses a critical limitation in traditional eye tracking—the inability to estimate gaze targets in three dimensions during natural, mobile interactions. By combining SLAM with mobile eye tracking, Pi developed a system that enables accurate 3D gaze localization in real-world environments, moving beyond constrained 2D screen-based setups. This contribution has significant implications for human-computer interaction, augmented reality, and behavioral studies, allowing researchers to understand visual attention in dynamic, unconstrained settings. Pi’s work stands out for its innovative fusion of hardware and algorithmic approaches, bridging gaps between eye tracking and spatial mapping. Their research continues to influence the development of wearable technologies that can interpret human intent and focus in real time, making them a notable figure in advancing mobile gaze-based interfaces.
