    Abstract: An eye tracking system can include eye-tracking camera(s) configured to obtain images of the eye at different exposure times or different frame rates. For example, longer exposure images of the eye taken at a longer exposure time can show iris or pupil features, and shorter exposure, glint images can show peaks of glints reflected from the eye. The shorter exposure glint images may be taken at a higher frame rate than the longer exposure images for more accurate gaze prediction. The shorter exposure glint images can be analyzed to provide glint locations to subpixel accuracy. The longer exposure images can be analyzed for pupil center and/or center of rotation. The eye tracking system can predict gaze direction, which can be used for foveated rendering by a wearable display system. In some instances, the eye-tracking system may estimate the location of a partially or totally occluded glint.

For example, longer exposure images of the eye taken at a longer exposure time can show iris or pupil features, and shorter exposure, glint images can show peaks of glints reflected from the cornea. The shorter exposure glint images may be taken at a higher frame rate (than the longer exposure images) for accurate gaze prediction. The shorter exposure glint images can be analyzed to provide glint locations to subpixel accuracy. The longer exposure images can be analyzed for pupil center or center of rotation. The eye tracking system can predict future gaze direction, which can be used for foveated rendering by a wearable display system. In some instances, the eye-tracking system may estimate the location of a partially or totally occluded glint.

    Abstract: A head mounted display can include a frame, an eyepiece, an image injection device, a sensor array, a reflector, and an off-axis optical element. The frame can be configured to be supported on the head of the user. The eyepiece can be coupled to the frame and configured to be disposed in front of an eye of the user. The eyepiece can include a plurality of layers. The image injection device can be configured to provide image content to the eyepiece for viewing by the user. The sensor array can be integrated in or one the eyepiece. The reflector can be disposed in or on the eyepiece and configured to reflect light received from an object for imaging by the sensor array. The off-axis optical element can be disposed in or one the eyepiece. The off-axis optical element can be configured to receive light reflected from the reflector and direct at least a portion of the light toward the sensor array.
