Visual Axis Enrollment - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18534398 titled 'Visual Axis Enrollment
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.
- Line of text displayed for user to read
- Eye tracking cameras capture images of the eye
- Data used to estimate stimulus plane
- Error between estimated and ground truth stimulus planes used to estimate kappa angle
Potential Applications: - Biometric security systems - Virtual reality applications - Eye tracking research studies
Problems Solved: - Improving accuracy of eye tracking technology - Enhancing user authentication processes
Benefits: - Increased security - Enhanced user experience - Improved data collection for research purposes
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Biometric Security Systems with Eye Tracking Technology This technology can be utilized in industries such as: - Banking and finance - Healthcare - Gaming
Questions about Eye Tracking Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user authentication processes? This technology enhances user authentication by using eye tracking data to verify the identity of the user based on their reading patterns.
2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with eye tracking technology? Privacy concerns may arise regarding the collection and storage of biometric data obtained through eye tracking technology.
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.
