Eye Tracking Using Self-Mixing Interferometry - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18105709 Titled 'Eye Tracking Using Self-Mixing Interferometry'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an eye tracking device that can be worn on the head. It consists of a frame, an optical sensor subsystem, and a processor. The optical sensor subsystem includes one or more SMI sensors. The processor operates the optical sensor subsystem by emitting beams of light towards the user's eye and receiving signals from the SMI sensors. It uses these signals to track the movement of the user's eye.
Original Abstract Submitted
An eye tracking device includes a head-mountable frame, an optical sensor subsystem mounted to the head-mountable frame, and a processor. The optical sensor subsystem includes a set of one or more SMI sensors. The processor is configured to operate the optical sensor subsystem to cause the set of one or more SMI sensors to emit a set of one or more beams of light toward an eye of a user; to receive a set of one or more SMI signals from the set of one or more SMI sensors; and to track a movement of the eye using the set of one or more SMI signals.
