1. An integrated gaze tracker comprising:
a pixel array configured to capture an image to provide an output signal comprising the image;
a memory configured to store an image data unit to be read out in units of lines based on the output signal of the pixel array; and
a processor configured to generate a first gaze vector based on a first partial image data from an n-th row to a k-th row, among entire image data included in the output signal, and generate a second gaze vector based on a second partial image data from an (n+1)-th row to a (k+1)-th row, among the entire image data.
