The closer the lines within the calibration point are to a dot in the center of the circle of the calibration point, the better the cali-
bration is of that point, .You can choose the points to be improved and calibrate only those points again.
To improve one or more calibration points, follow these steps :
1. Open Gaze Interaction Settings > Calibration.
2. Select the point(s) you want to improve under Calibration Result.
3. Select the Improve Point(s) button and a calibration for the selected point(s) will start.

7.2.5 Removing Calibration Point(s)
If there is a calibration point that is consistently bad after calibration (the green lines are scattered all around and outside the
circle of the calibration point) you can remove that point completely from the calibration, this may improve the calibration of the
other points. Be aware that if you remove a point, that area of the screen will be uncalibrated and Gaze Interaction will not func-
tion properly there.

i. Freedom of head movement describes the volume in front of the tracker in which the user must have at least one of the eyes. The numbers are
specified parallell/orthogonal to screen surface, assuming eye tracker is at 20 degree angle to screen.
ii. Gaze accuracy describes the angular average distance from the actual gaze point to the one measured by the eye tracker.
Accuracy under ideal conditions is measured with users placed in the center of the eye tracker track box with the head resting on a chin rest, and the
room and screen illumination constant at 300 lux.
Accuracy across head box is measured with users after calibration systematically positioned at varying positions ranging from center of the head box
up to +/- 15 cm horizontal, +/- 10 cm vertical and +/- 10 cm distance.
Accuracy across varying background illumination is measured with users͛head resting on a chin rest, and after calibration modifying background
illumination from 1 to 1000 lux.
iii. Gaze Precision describes the point-to-point variation between individual gaze samples (here specified with binocular data, ie both eyes, and
measured on artificial eyes). Gaze Precision with Stampe filter is with Stampe stage 2 noise-reduction algorithm applied to raw data (Stampe ,
Behavior Research Methods, Instruments & Computers 1993, 25 (2), 137-142).
Precision without filter is based on raw data, without any de-noising filter applied, either inside or outside the eye tracker.
Precision under ideal conditions is measured with users placed in the center of the eye tracker track box with the head resting on a chin rest, and the
room and screen illumination constant at 300 lux.
Precision across head box is measured with users after calibration systematically positioned at varying positions ranging from center of the head box
up to +/- 15 cm horizontal, +/- 10 cm vertical and +/- 10 cm distance.
