Abstract:
A device for eye tracking is disclosed. The device includes a first depth profiler configured to determine a distance from the first depth profiler to a surface of an eye. The device may also include a display device configured to display one or more images selected based on a position of the eye. The position of the eye is determined based on the determined distance. Also disclosed is a method for eye tracking. The method includes determining, with a first depth profiler, a distance from the first depth profiler to a surface of an eye. A position of the eye is determined based on the determine distance. One or more images selected based on the position of the eye are displayed on a display device.
