    摘要: A head-mounted display (HMD) may include an eye-tracking system, an HMD-tracking system and a display configured to display virtual images. The virtual images may present an augmented reality to a wearer of the HMD and the virtual images may adjust dynamically based on HMD-tracking data. However, position and orientation sensor errors may introduce drift into the displayed virtual images. By incorporating eye-tracking data, the drift of virtual images may be reduced. In one embodiment, the eye-tracking data could be used to determine a gaze axis and a target object in the displayed virtual images. The HMD may then move the target object towards a central axis. The HMD may also record data based on the gaze axis, central axis and target object to determine a user interface preference. The user interface preference could be used to adjust similar interactions with the HMD.

    摘要: A wearable computing device or a head-mounted display (HMD) may be configured to track the gaze axis of an eye of the wearer. In particular, the device may be configured to observe movement of a wearer's pupil and, based on the movement, determine inputs to a user interface. For example, using eye gaze detection, the HMD may change a tracking rate of a displayed virtual image based on where the user is looking. Gazing at the center of the HMD field of view may, for instance, allow for fine movements of the virtual display. Gazing near an edge of the HMD field of view may provide coarser movements.

    摘要: A wearable computing system may include an eye-tracking system configured to track the position of an eye of a wearer of the wearable computing system. In particular, an infrared light source illuminating the eye of a wearer at a relatively high intensity may generate specular reflections off the wearer's cornea, also called ‘glints’. The glints can be imaged with an infrared camera. When the infrared light sources are illuminated at a relatively lower intensity, determination of the pupil location is possible. Glints, in combination with the pupil location, may be used to accurately determine the gaze direction and eye rotation. The determined gaze direction could be used in various eye-tracking applications. By controlling the light sources to change intensity levels and by combining multiple images of the eye to incorporate multiple glint locations with the pupil location, eye tracking can be performed with better accuracy and with fewer light sources.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for improving gaze estimation based on glints. An example method may be executable to receive glint-location data indicating a location for each of one or more glints that are reflected from an eye. The glint-location data may be captured by an imaging device that is attached to a head-mountable display (HMD). The method may be further executable to determine a plurality of normalized pupil locations comprising at least a first and a second normalized pupil location. Each normalized pupil location may be determined based on the glint-location data for a different combinatoric subset of the one or more glints. The method may be further executable to determine a regression model to fit the plurality of normalized pupil locations to an expected gaze location, and perform a gaze-tracking process based on the regression model.
