Abstract: A system for detecting a proximate object includes one or more cameras and one or more illuminators. The proximate object is detected by obtaining image data captured by the one or more cameras, where the image data is captured when at least one of the one or more illuminators are illuminated, determining brightness statistics from the image data, and determining whether the brightness statistics satisfies a predetermined threshold. The proximate object is determined to be detected in accordance with a determination that the brightness statistics satisfies the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Method for subsequently displaying a stream of images in a display area of a display device, wherein a first area within the display area is determined around a point of regard. A first image of the stream of images is displayed in the display area such that a first part of the first image, which is displayed in the first area, is displayed according to a first parameter value of at least one parameter and a second part of the first image, which is displayed in at least one second area outside the first area, is displayed according to a second parameter value of the at least one parameter. Moreover, the determining of the point of regard is performed as predicting the point of regard for a certain future point of time, at which the first image is displayed.

Abstract: Low-power eye tracking for detecting position and movements of a user's eyes in a head-mounted device (HMD). An eye tracking system for an HMD may include eye tracking cameras. The eye tracking cameras may be used to capture low-resolution frames between capturing high-resolution frames, for example by binning pixels on the camera sensor or by capturing horizontal and vertical stripes or lines of pixels on the camera sensor rather than entire frames. This low-resolution information may be used to track relative movement of the user's eyes with respect to the device in intervals between the processing of full, high-resolution frames captured by the eye tracking cameras.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method to control a workflow comprising at least one task to be performed by a person (P3), wherein information is provided about at least one certain object (20, 32, 36, 38) related to the at least one task of the workflow, eye data (24, 26) are captured of at least one eye of the person (P3), and in dependency of the eye data (24, 26) and the information about the at least one certain object (20, 32, 36, 38) it is checked whether at least one task condition consisting in whether the task had been performed and/or whether the task is allowed to be performed is fulfilled. The invention also relates to a system and method for providing a set of task-specific control parameters (CP).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for capturing data from the ambient data of an environment (12) of a user by means of a scene image recording device (16) and for the evaluation of the acquired ambient data by means of an evaluation device (22). Here a spatial and/or temporal selection (36a, 36b, 36c) is made which concerns an acquisition of the ambient data by means of the scene image recording device (16) and/or a transmission of the ambient data from the scene image recording device (16) to the evaluation device (22) and/or an evaluation of the ambient data by the evaluation device (22). Furthermore, the selection (36a, 36b, 36c) is made as a function of at least one captured, temporally variable first parameter (30, 32) in order to make this selection on the basis of its relevance and thus to make possible a reduction of the data volume by reduction measures restricted to less relevant data.
