METHOD FOR DETECTING GESTURES OF AN EYE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18283278 titled 'METHOD FOR DETECTING GESTURES OF AN EYE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for identifying eye gestures using laser feedback interferometry.
- Emit at least one laser beam onto the eye
- Determine optical path length, signal-to-noise ratio, and eye speed from the radiation scattered back from the eye
- Identify eye gesture based on the measuring sample
- Optical path length determined by laser feedback interferometry
- Eye speed determined by Doppler shift of the emitted radiation
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Eye tracking systems for user interfaces
- Medical diagnostics for eye movement disorders
- Virtual reality and augmented reality applications
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Accurate and non-invasive eye gesture recognition
- Real-time monitoring of eye movements
- Improving user experience in various applications
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced accuracy in identifying eye gestures
- Non-contact method for eye tracking
- Real-time feedback for immediate response
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Gaming industry for immersive experiences
- Healthcare sector for diagnostic purposes
- Automotive industry for driver monitoring systems
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include:
- Eye tracking systems using infrared light
- Doppler radar systems for motion detection
What are the limitations of this technology in terms of accuracy and speed of eye gesture recognition?
The accuracy of eye gesture recognition may be affected by factors such as ambient light conditions and eye movement speed. The speed of eye gesture recognition may also depend on the processing power of the system and the complexity of the gestures being detected.
How does this technology compare to existing eye tracking methods in terms of cost and ease of implementation?
This technology may be more expensive to implement compared to traditional eye tracking methods that use infrared light. However, it offers the advantage of non-contact measurement and real-time monitoring, which can be beneficial in certain applications such as medical diagnostics and virtual reality.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for identifying eye gestures of an eye includes the steps of emitting at least one laser beam onto the eye determining a single measuring sample having current values for: an optical path length of the emitted laser beam; a signal-to-noise ratio of radiation scattered back from the eye; an eye speed of the eye; and identifying an eye gesture based on the single measuring sample, wherein the optical path length is determined based on laser feedback interferometry of the emitted laser radiation with the radiation scattered back from the eye, and wherein the eye speed is determined based on a Doppler shift of the emitted radiation and the radiation scattered back, determined by means of the laser feedback interferometry.
