Original Abstract Submitted
An eyeball tracking method and a virtual reality device are disclosed. The eyeball tracking method is applied to the virtual reality device, the virtual reality device comprises at least two cameras, and shooting areas of the cameras are partially overlapped. The eyeball tracking method comprises the steps of: acquiring images captured by at least two cameras at a same moment; superimposing overlapping areas in the images to obtain a target image including an eyeball area; and performing eyeball tracking according to the target image. The accuracy of eyeball tracking can be improved.
