Abstract: An electronic device may include a first projector, a first waveguide, a second projector, a second waveguide, and an optical sensor that couples the first waveguide to the second waveguide. A third waveguide may overlap the first waveguide, the second waveguide, and the optical sensor. The third waveguide may direct first image light from the first waveguide to the optical sensor and may direct second image light from the second waveguide to the optical sensor. The optical sensor may gather image sensor data from first image light and the second image light. The image sensor data may be free from errors in the first image light relative to the second image light associated with forces applied around the optical sensor. Control circuitry may calibrate optical misalignment in the device by adjusting the first and/or second image light based on the image sensor data.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may include a housing having openings that receive lenses. Displays may output images. Waveguides that overlap the lenses may receive the images from the displays and may direct the images to eye boxes that are aligned with the lenses. Infrared light sources such as infrared light-emitting diodes or lasers may be used to supply infrared light to the waveguides. Each waveguide may have multiple localized output couplers that overlap the lenses. The localized output couplers of each lens each direct a beam of the infrared light out of the waveguide towards an eye surface in the eye box associated with that lens to produce an eye glint. A gaze tracker infrared camera may captured images of the eye glints to determine a user's point of gaze.
