section id Unique identifier of the corresponding section.
recording id Unique identifier of the recording this sample belongs to.
timestamp [ns] UTC timestamp in nanoseconds of the corresponding world frame.

# events.csv

This file contains event data for all recordings. It contains both project event annotations and real-time recording events.

Field Description
recording id Unique identifier of the recording this event belongs to.
timestamp [ns] UTC timestamp of the event.
name Name of the event.
type Type of the event. Possible values: project, recording

# gaze.csv

This file contains gaze data in world camera coordinates.

Field Description
section id Unique identifier of the corresponding section.
recording id Unique identifier of the recording this sample belongs to.
timestamp [ns] UTC timestamp in nanoseconds of the sample. Equal to the timestamp of the original gaze sample before mapping.
gaze x [px] Float value representing the x-coordinate of the mapped gaze point in world camera pixel coordinates.
gaze y [px] Same as "gaze x [px]" but for the y-coordinate.
worn These values indicate whether Neon has been worn by a subject at the respective point in time. 1.0 indicates that it has been worn, while 0.0 indicates that it has not been worn.
fixation id If this gaze sample belongs to a fixation event, this is the corresponding id of the fixation. Otherwise, this field is empty.
blink id If this gaze samples belongs to a blink event, this is the corresponding id of the blink. Otherwise this field is empty.
azimuth [deg] The azimuth of the gaze ray in relation to the scene camera in degrees.
elevation [deg] The elevation of the gaze ray in relation to the scene camera in degrees.

# fixations.csv

This file contains fixations detected in the gaze data stream. The corresponding gaze samples that belong to each fixation can be determined from the gaze.csv file using the fixation id field.

Field Description
section id Unique identifier of the corresponding section.
recording id Unique identifier of the recording this sample belongs to.
fixation id Identifier of the fixation. The counter starts at the beginning of the recording.
start timestamp [ns] UTC timestamp in nanoseconds of the start of the fixation.
end timestamp [ns] UTC timestamp in nanoseconds of the end of the fixation.
duration [ms] Duration of the fixation in milliseconds.
fixation x [px] Float value representing the x-coordinate of the fixation in world camera pixel coordinates. This position is the average of all gaze samples within the fixation.
fixation y [px] Same as "fixation x [px]" but for the y-coordinate.
azimuth [deg] The azimuth of the gaze ray corresponding to the fixation location in relation to the scene camera in degrees.
elevation [deg] The elevation of the gaze ray corresponding to the fixation location in relation to the scene camera in degrees.

This file contains blinks detected in the eye video. The corresponding gaze samples that belong to each blink can be determined from the gaze.csv file using the blink id field.

Field Description
section id Unique identifier of the corresponding section.
recording id Unique identifier of the recording this sample belongs to.
blink id Identifier of the blink. The counter starts at the beginning of the recording.
