Abstract:
A method of tracking an eye of a user includes generating infrared light over an eye tracking period, scanning the infrared light over the eye, and detecting reflections of the infrared light from the eye. Shifts in a position of a wearable heads-up display (WHUD) worn on the head of the user are detected during at least a portion of the eye tracking period. Glints are identified from the detected reflections of the infrared light. A drift in a glint center position of an identified glint relative to a glint space is determined based on a detected shift in position of the WHUD corresponding in space to the identified glint. The glint center position is adjusted to compensate for the drift. The adjusted glint center position is transformed from the glint space to a gaze position in a display space in a field of view of the eye.
