    Abstract: An apparatus for tracking a gaze of a user is provided. The apparatus includes a memory including computer executable instructions; and a processor that reads and executes the computer executable instructions. The instructions cause the processor to receive gaze information associated with the gaze of the user; based on the gaze information, determine whether change information associated with the gaze of the user is greater than a threshold value; and in response to determining the change information is greater than the threshold value, predict at least one from among a gaze vector of the gaze of the user and a location of a gaze target of the gaze of the user based on a kinematic model. The gaze tracking apparatus may be used in a vehicle to perform vehicle functions based on the gaze of a user of a vehicle or to update gaze modeling database.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking intent or awareness based on a gaze of a user are provided. The method includes receiving gaze information of the gaze of the user; based on the gaze information, determining whether a function of the vehicle was activated by the user; in response to determining that the function was activated by the user, generating and storing historical gaze information in a database; and in response to determining that the function is not activated by the user, calculating a probability that the function will be activated by the user during a processing cycle and generating and storing the historical gaze information in the database based on the calculated probability and size of the database. The apparatus and method may be used to track the gaze of a user of a vehicle and predict user behavior based on the historical gaze information.

    Abstract: One general aspect includes a method to indicate the space available to open a vehicle door, the method including: sensing, via a processor, a horizontal distance between the vehicle door and an object in an environment surrounding a vehicle; determining, via the processor, if the horizontal distance is greater than or less than a first threshold value; determining, via the processor, if the horizontal distance is greater than or less than a second threshold value; and providing, via the processor, an indicator based on the determination of whether the horizontal distance is greater than or less than the first threshold value and the determination of whether the horizontal distance is greater than or less than the second threshold value.
