Work-in-Progress–Computer Vision Methods to Examine Neurodiverse Gaze Patterns in 360-Video

Computer vision (CV) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on enabling computers to detect and understand objects from visual stimuli and multimedia. With advances in computational power and open-source libraries, more educators and instructional designers are seeking to capitalize on the perceived benefits of CV. This work-in-progress paper reports the CV approach our research team has developed to explore the usage patterns of neurodiverse learners within a 360-degree spherical video-based virtual reality system.
