Abstract: Some implementations disclosed herein provide systems, methods (200), and devices (10) that use a retinal imaging technique to assess a user's eye (45) accommodation (i.e., focus) during use of an electronic device (10), e.g., in real time. One or more light sources (322a-d, 1022a-d) produce one or more illuminated spots (320, 420, 520, 620) on the retina that are detectable via a sensor (324, 1024). The size and shape of the spot(s) (320, 420, 520, 620) depend upon the eye accommodation/focus and thus are used to identify an accommodation/focus change or measure the eye's accommodation/focus. Eye accommodation may be determined in real time while a user is viewing, interacting with, or otherwise experiencing electronic content via the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a microphone, an array of coherent optical emitters, an array of balanced coherent optical vibration sensors, and a processor. Each balanced coherent optical vibration sensor in the array of balanced coherent optical vibration sensors is paired with a coherent optical emitter in the array of coherent optical emitters. The processor is configured to analyze a set of waveforms acquired by the array of balanced coherent optical vibration sensors; identify, using the analysis of the set of waveforms, a set of one or more voices in a field of view; and adjust an output of the microphone to accentuate a particular voice in the set of one or more voices.

Abstract: A display may include an optical emitter that emits infrared light, a first coupler that couples the infrared light into a waveguide, and a second optical coupler that couples the infrared light out of the waveguide and towards the eye box. The infrared light may reflect off an eye as reflected light. The second optical coupler may couple the reflected light into the waveguide and the first optical coupler may couple the reflected light out of the waveguide and towards a camera for performing gaze tracking operations based on the sensor data. The display may sequentially illuminate different regions of the eye with the infrared light at different times using a scanning mirror, an array of light sources, or a wavelength-adjustable light source and gratings. This may minimize infrared light scattering, which minimizes background generation and maximizes signal-to-noise ratio for gaze tracking operations.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide retinal imaging-based gaze tracking In some implementations, a user's gaze is tracked based on a retinal imaging technique that selectively uses a subset of multiple light sources (222, 310, 610) that illuminate different portions of the user's retina (352). In some implementations, a method (700) includes selecting (710) a subset of light sources, where the subset of the light sources includes less than all of the light sources. In some implementations, one or more portions of a retina (352) are illuminated (720) by producing light using the subset of the light sources. In some implementations, sensor data is received (730) at a sensor (224, 340, 814), the sensor data corresponding to the light detected during retinal imaging, and an eye characteristic is determined (740) based on the sensor data.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide retinal imaging-based gaze tracking. In some implementations, a user's gaze is tracked based on based on a retinal imaging technique that corrects for misalignment between content display components and tracking components. In some implementations, misalignment is detected by providing a light pattern (e.g., IR light sources embedded in a display) within or adjacent to displayed content and assessing the image of the light pattern on the retina.
