## Abstract (arXiv)

We present an extensive, in-depth analysis of the eye tracking capabilities of the Meta Quest Pro virtual reality headset using a dataset of eye movement recordings collected from 78 participants. In addition to presenting classical signal quality metrics--spatial accuracy, spatial precision and linearity--in ideal settings, we also study the impact of background luminance and headset slippage on device performance. We additionally present a user-centered analysis of eye tracking signal quality, where we highlight the potential differences in user experience as a function of device performance. This work contributes to a growing understanding of eye tracking signal quality in virtual reality headsets, where the performance of applications such as gaze-based interaction, foveated rendering, and social gaze are directly dependent on the quality of eye tracking signal.
