DETECTING COMPUTER INPUT BASED UPON GAZE TRACKING WITH MANUALLY TRIGGERED CONTENT ENLARGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17727657 Titled 'DETECTING COMPUTER INPUT BASED UPON GAZE TRACKING WITH MANUALLY TRIGGERED CONTENT ENLARGEMENT'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes technologies that can detect user input based on the user's gaze. The computing system receives a command from the user to initiate gaze-based input. It then uses a camera to generate images and compute gaze points. Based on these gaze points, a portion of the content is progressively enlarged. When the user's gaze point aligns with a desired position in the content, the user can send a selection command. The computing system then performs a computing operation based on the selected position in the content.
Original Abstract Submitted
Technologies for detecting user input based upon computed gaze of a user are described herein. With more specificity, a computing system receives an initiation command, where the initiation command indicates that the user desires to set forth input by way of gaze. Gaze points are then computed based upon images generated by a camera of the computing system; based upon such gaze points, a portion of the content is progressively enlarged. When the gaze point corresponds to a position in the content desirably selected by the user (when the portion of the content is enlarged), a selection command from the user is received. Upon receipt of the selection command, the computing system performs a computing operation with respect to the position of the content.
