The dataset of Steil et al. contains more than 90 hours of data recorded continuously from 20 participants (six females, aged 22-31) over more than four hours each. Participants were students with different backgrounds and subjects with normal or corrected- to-normal vision.

During the recordings, participants roamed a university campus and performed their everyday activities, such as meeting people, eating, or working as they normally would on any day at the university. To obtain some data from multiple, and thus also “privacy-sensitive”, places on the university campus, participants were asked to not stay in one place for more than 30 minutes. Participants were further asked to stop the recording after about one and a half hours so that the laptop’s battery packs could be changed and the eye tracker re-calibrated.
