Analysis of Observation Skills by Gaze Tracking using the Soccer Simulation

Abstract

In team sports such as soccer, the instruction skills of coach are important for improving a team performance. The coach is required to have a skill of game analysis by observing the entire game. In order to evaluate a skill of the game analysis, it is necessary to analyze the observation technique actually performed by the human expert. However, it is hard to collect such data from games of real human sports because it requires much cost to prepare the games. In this research, we use the RoboCup soccer simulation environment to solve this cost problem, and try to collect and analyze human’s attention information using a gaze tracking device.
