Conference Proceeding
Mahamadu, A., Prabhakaran, A., Clark, K., Dziekonski, K., Okeke, U., Zhang, W., …Aigbavboa, C. O. (2021). The application of eye-tracking technology in architecture engineering and construction industry: A systematic review. In N. Dawood, F. Pour Rahimian, & M. Sheikhkhoshkar (Eds.), Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (56-64)

Despite the scholarly attention on eye-tracking technology in the AEC industry, no studies thus far have attempted to aggregate the findings or knowledge. To bridge this gap and to better understand the state-of-the-art of eye-tracking technology’s a...
