      It’s an eye-tracker device. The headset connects to two computers and a set of loudspeakers. They are quite commonly used in psychology research that is about reading, language in general or looking at different pictures. It measures your eye-movements, where you stop to look for things a bit longer (that’s called a fixation) and your pupil size. When it was new it costed about £20 000 but these days it’s quite old and moody 😛
