Abstract:
An eye tracking system can include an eye-tracking camera configured to obtain images of the eye at different exposure times or different frame rates. For example, longer exposure images of the eye taken at a longer exposure time can show iris or pupil features, and shorter exposure, glint images can show peaks of glints reflected from the cornea. The shorter exposure glint images may be taken at a higher frame rate (than the longer exposure images) for accurate gaze prediction. The shorter exposure glint images can be analyzed to provide glint locations to subpixel accuracy. The longer exposure images can be analyzed for pupil center or center of rotation. The eye tracking system can predict future gaze direction, which can be used for foveated rendering by a wearable display system. In some instances, the eye-tracking system may estimate the location of a partially or totally occluded glint.
