An eye tracking device that utilizes light detection devices (54) for determining the visual axis and point of regard of a user. The light detection devices are arranged in such a way, such as embedded in a thin film (76) so as to be curved around the optical axis of the eye (20). In this way, the light detection devices are always coincident with source-emitted light reflected from the fovea (34). The curved arrangement of light detection devices are mounted onto a head or facial apparatus, which has a mild reflector on its outside surface to keep external light noise at a minimum. Conversion circuitry, such as pyramid cascade circuit (120) or a microprocessor circuit (140) determines the position of the fovea-reflected light and computes the visual axis and point of regard of the user at a very rapid rate.
