1. A computer-implemented method for evaluating human eye tracking, comprising:
determining, via an eye evaluation system, an activity performed by a participant user;
identifying, via the eye evaluation system, a visual search strategy associated with the determined activity, the visual search strategy including one or more visual search locations to be targeted by the participant user during performance of the activity, wherein the visual search locations define one or more first locations that should be targeted by a gaze of the participant user relative to the activity;
identifying one or more visual cues associated with one or more temporal phases of the activity;
causing one or more eye trackers in communication with the eye evaluation system to collect eye tracking data of the participant user during the performance of the activity, the eye tracking data including a response of the participant user to the one or more visual cues and including one or more second locations that were targeted by the gaze of the participant user relative to the activity;
for each of the one or more temporal phases, determining, via the eye evaluation system, a comparison between the one or more first locations that should be targeted by the gaze of the participant user and the one or more second locations that were targeted by the gaze of the participant user;
determining, based on the comparison and via the eye evaluation system, a visual search evaluation of the participant user for the performance of the activity; and
causing, via the eye evaluation system, an electronic interface to output a visual indication of the visual search evaluation.
