We constantly move our eyes to explore our surroundings. In between short periods of fixation, saccades cause drastic changes to the visual input – yet, we experience a continuous and stable world from the incessant flow of snapshots. While the perceptual consequences of saccadic eye movements are manifold, experiments to study them are surprisingly similar, and lean towards a paradoxically passive investigation of active visual perception. Instead of isolated, stereotyped eye movements directed by artificial cues, everyday gaze is dynamically driven by scene statistics and internal goals. To genuinely understand active perception across eye movements, we need to study it under natural but…
