Examples are disclosed herein that relate to eye tracking based on two-dimensional image data. One example provides, on a computing device, a method of tracking an eye. The method includes receiving image data from an image sensor, detecting a face of the user in the image data, locating the eye in a region of the face in the image data to obtain an eye image, normalizing one or more of a scale and an illumination of the eye image, fitting an ellipse to an iris of the eye in the eye image, and outputting a determination of an eye gaze direction based upon the ellipse fitted.
