SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BIOMECHANICALLY-BASED EYE SIGNALS FOR INTERACTING WITH REAL AND VIRTUAL OBJECTS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for discerning the intent of a device wearer primarily based on movements of the eyes. The system can be included within unobtrusive headwear that performs eye tracking and controls screen display. The system can also utilize remote eye tracking camera(s), remote displays and/or other ancillary inputs. Screen layout is optimized to facilitate the formation and reliable detection of rapid eye signals. The detection of eye signals is based on tracking physiological movements of the eye that are under voluntary control by the device wearer. The detection of eye signals results in actions that are compatible with wearable computing and a wide range of display devices.

主权项

1. A method for providing a graphical user interface to determine intent of a user based at least in part on movement of the user's eye or eyes using a detector, comprising:
identifying, with the detector, when at least one eye of the user is directed at a first object; identifying, with the detector, a saccade of the at least one eye of the user from the first object towards a second object; confirming, with the detector, that the saccade of the at least one eye of the user is completed to within a predetermined distance from the location of the second object; and performing an action in relation to one or more of the first and second objects.
