Abstract:
Technologies for performing user-specific calibration of eye tracking systems for Near-Eye-Display (NED) devices. The NED device may sequentially present different virtual stimuli to a user while concurrently capturing instances of eye tracking data. The eye tracking data reveals calibration ellipse centers that uniquely correspond to individual virtual stimuli. The calibration ellipse centers may be used define a polygon grid in association with a sensor plane. The resulting polygon grid is used during operation to interpolate the real-time gaze direction of the user. For example, a real-time instance of eye tracking data may be analyzed to determine which particular polygon of the polygon grid a real-time ellipse center falls within. Then, distances between the real-time ellipse center and the vertices of the particular polygon may be determined. A proportionality factor is then determined based on these distances and is used to interpolate the real-time eye gaze of the user.
