Visual Axis Enrollment - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211039 titled 'Visual Axis Enrollment
The abstract describes a patent application for an unobtrusive visual axis enrollment process, where a line of text is displayed for the user to read, and eye tracking cameras capture images of the eye to estimate a stimulus plane and kappa angle.
- Simplified Explanation:
- A line of text is displayed for the user to read in a visual axis enrollment process. - Eye tracking cameras capture images of the eye to estimate a stimulus plane. - The error between the estimated stimulus plane and the ground truth stimulus plane is used to estimate the kappa angle.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Unobtrusive visual axis enrollment process. - Use of eye tracking cameras to estimate stimulus plane and kappa angle.
- Potential Applications:
- Biometric security systems. - Virtual reality applications. - Eye tracking research.
- Problems Solved:
- Enhances security through biometric authentication. - Improves user experience in virtual reality environments. - Provides valuable data for eye tracking research.
- Benefits:
- Increased security. - Enhanced user experience. - Valuable data for research purposes.
- Commercial Applications:
- Biometric security systems for access control. - Virtual reality gaming and training applications. - Eye tracking research tools for academic and commercial use.
- Questions about the Technology:
1. How does the unobtrusive visual axis enrollment process improve user experience? - The process allows for seamless enrollment without disrupting the user's interaction.
2. What are the potential privacy concerns related to using eye tracking cameras for enrollment? - Privacy concerns may arise regarding the collection and storage of biometric data.
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Stay updated on advancements in eye tracking technology and biometric security systems for potential improvements in the visual axis enrollment process.
Original Abstract Submitted
in an unobtrusive visual axis enrollment process, a line of text or other content is displayed at a known vertical location and virtual depth that the user can then read. this line of text may be content that the user needs to read as part of the normal enrollment process. as the user reads the line of text, eye tracking cameras may capture images of the eye. this data may then be used to estimate a stimulus plane. the error between the estimated stimulus plane and the ground truth stimulus plane (the actual location of the line of text in virtual space) may then be used to estimate the kappa angle.
