CONTROLLING A FUNCTION VIA GAZE DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256035 titled 'CONTROLLING A FUNCTION VIA GAZE DETECTION
The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for controlling a computing system using gaze detection. Gaze information is determined from images of a user, enabling functions based on this information.
- Images of a user are received to determine gaze information.
- Non-gaze information is received when specific conditions are met.
- Functions are enabled based on the received non-gaze information.
- Gaze information is determined by extracting features from images and utilizing a neural network.
- The neural network identifies the location on a display device where the user's gaze is directed.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be applied in user interface design, accessibility features for individuals with disabilities, and interactive gaming experiences.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the need for more intuitive and efficient ways to interact with computing systems, particularly for users who may have difficulty using traditional input methods.
- Benefits:**
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, increased accessibility, and enhanced control over computing systems.
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Enhanced User Interaction Technology This technology can be utilized in smart devices, virtual reality systems, and assistive technologies for individuals with motor impairments. It has the potential to revolutionize user interfaces and enhance user engagement in various industries.
- Questions about Gaze Detection:**
1. How does gaze detection improve user interaction with computing systems? 2. What are the potential limitations of gaze detection technology in real-world applications?
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Researchers are constantly exploring advancements in gaze detection technology, including improving accuracy, reducing latency, and expanding its applications in various fields. Stay updated on the latest developments in this area for cutting-edge insights.
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for controlling a function of a computing system using gaze detection. in examples, one or more images of a user are received and gaze information may be determined from the received one or more images. non-gaze information may be received when the gaze information is determined to satisfy a condition. accordingly, a function may be enabled based on the received non-gaze information. in examples, the gaze information may be determined by extracting a plurality of features from the received one or more images, providing the plurality of features to a neural network, and determining, utilizing the neural network, a location at a display device at which a gaze of the user is directed.
