System and method for controlling the position of a movable object on a display device

摘要

The system (1) has an input module (10) for determining a position of a target zone on a viewing device (6) toward which an operator's gaze is directed at a given moment. An interface module (12) is adapted for placing a movable object (4) on the target zone of the viewing device. The input module includes an acquisition unit (18) for acquiring an axis of direction of the operator's gaze and a detecting unit (20) for detecting the position of the target zone based on an intersection zone between the axis of direction and a display plane of the viewing device. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a position of a movable object on a viewing device in an aircraft cockpit.
