A system and method are disclosed for using a camera image of a user's eye as a visual stimulus for the calibration point in an eyetracking calibration system. A camera image of a user's eye is generated on a user display using an eyetracker. The camera image of the user's eye is used as a visual stimulus of a calibration point. In an embodiment, the center of the pupil of the camera image of the user's eye represents the coordinates of the calibration point on the user display. In another embodiment, the center of the corneal reflection of the camera image of the user's eye represents the coordinates of the calibration point on the user display.
