Correlating pupil position to gaze location within a scene

摘要

Correlating pupil position to gaze location within a scene. Illustrative embodiments may include correlating pupil position of a user to gaze location within a scene viewed by the user. The correlating may include: illuminating an eye of the user, the eye containing the pupil, and the illuminating with light; creating a first video stream depicting the eye; creating a second video stream depicting the scene in front of the user; determining pupil position within the first video stream; calculating gaze location in the second video stream based on pupil position in the first video stream; and sending an indication of the gaze location in the second video stream to a computer system.

主权项

1. A headset system comprising:
a strap member that defines a parabolic shape, the strap member comprising a first distal end and a second distal end, and the parabolic shape of the strap member resides within a first plane; a first ear piece member coupled to the first distal end of the strap member, and the first ear piece member comprising a speaker; an arm member coupled to the strap member, the arm member defines a proximal portion, a medial portion, a distal portion, and a central axis, the arm member extends away from the first plane and an angle formed between the central axis and the first plane is adjustable; a reflective surface disposed on the distal portion of the arm member; an eye camera coupled to the medial portion of the arm member, the eye camera having a viewing direction toward the reflective surface; a scene camera coupled to the arm member, the scene camera viewing direction away from the plane defined by the parabolic shape of the strap member; and a light system disposed on the distal portion of the arm, the light system having a beam direction toward the first plane within the parabolic shape of the strap member;
wherein the scene camera viewing direction defines a center line, and a relationship between the center line and the central axis of the arm member is at least one selected from the group consisting of: parallel; between 0 degrees and about 30 degrees; about 10 degrees; andwherein the scene camera is disposed on the medial portion of the arm member.
