Background:

Online vision testing offers efficient data collection but requires precise gaze tracking.
Traditional webcam-based gaze tracking lacks sufficient accuracy for online studies.
Existing dynamic fixation tasks reduce, but do not eliminate, fixation errors.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel 'crowded dynamic fixation' task for enhancing gaze accuracy in online vision testing.
To assess the effectiveness of crowding in further improving fixation compared to previous methods.
To determine if crowded dynamic fixation can eliminate peeking behavior during peripheral threshold measurements.

Main Methods:

Developed a 'crowded dynamic fixation' task incorporating visual clutter around a moving target.
Assessed fixation accuracy by measuring RMS gaze error and peeking frequency during peripheral threshold measurements.
Compared the crowded dynamic fixation task against stationary and dynamic fixation tasks.

Main Results:

Crowded dynamic fixation reduced RMS gaze error by 47% compared to stationary fixation.
Peeking occurred in 0% of trials with crowded dynamic fixation, versus 4% for dynamic and 9% for stationary fixation.
The method eliminated implausibly low peripheral thresholds, suggesting improved fixation accuracy.

Conclusions:

Crowded dynamic fixation provides accurate gaze control for online vision testing.
This method effectively leverages crowding to minimize fixation errors and peeking.
The technique holds promise for improving the reliability of remote vision assessment tools.
