EYE GAZE DIRECTION INDICATOR

摘要

A user of a computing system gazes at an image of visible objects in the user's field of view. The computing system determines the direction of the user's eye gaze into the field of view, and augments the image seen by the user with a computer-generated gaze direction indicator. The computing system may also determine the direction of an auxiliary pointer into the field of view, and may further augment the image seen by the user with a computer-generated auxiliary pointer direction indicator. The gaze direction indicator may be adjusted based on the user's eye movement and the auxiliary pointer direction indicator may be adjusted based on manipulation of the auxiliary pointer. The direction indicators may intersect over an object in the user's field of view, and may be displayed on a transparent display screen positioned between the user and the object.

主权项

1. A method for augmenting an image of objects visible in a field of view to a user of a computing system, the method comprising:
determining, with the computing system, an eye gaze direction of the user into the field of view; and inserting a computer-generated gaze direction indicator into the image visible to the user, the computer-generated gaze direction indicator a representation of the eye gaze direction of the user into the field of view.
