Abstract

Eye-tracking and pupil variation have amassed significant interest in the advancement of user-centric, personalized recommendation systems, offering critical insights into user preferences and improving engagement to boost e-commerce. This paper analyses existing systems on gaze-based interaction, fixation patterns, saccades defined as rapid, abrupt ocular movements that occur when we redirect our attention from one spot to another, pupillometry and neuromarketing to enhance recommendation accuracy in areas such as e-commerce, media consumption, and adaptive learning. It aims to provide a detailed review of research studies examining the use of these metrics in recommendation models. Additionally, it examines methodological approaches and data collection techniques involved in incorporating eye-tracking data into recommendation algorithms to improve their accuracy. This survey synthesizes key findings to provide a structured overview of the use of eye-tracking in e-commerce systems and delineates potential directions for future research in gaze-driven recommendation systems.
