    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display for displaying image content. Head-mounted support structures in the device may be used to support the display. The electronic device may have an eye monitoring system that detects eye saccades and eye blinks. Control circuitry in the electronic device may coordinate operation of the display with periods of suppressed visual sensitivity that are associated with the saccades and blinks. By making adjustments to display circuitry and image content during periods of suppressed visual sensitivity, potentially visually obtrusive changes to displayed images can be hidden from a user of the electronic device. Adjustments to display operation may help reduce burn-in effects, may help reduce power consumption, and may otherwise improve device performance.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine a gaze behavior state to identify gaze shifting events, gaze holding events, and loss events of a user based on physiological data. For example, an example process may include obtaining eye data associated with a gaze during a first period of time (e.g., eye position and velocity, interpupillary distance, pupil diameters, etc.). The process may further include obtaining head data associated with the gaze during the first period of time (e.g., head position and velocity). The process may further include determining a first gaze behavior state during the first period of time to identify gaze shifting events, gaze holding events, and loss events (e.g., one or more gaze and head pose characteristics may be determined, aggregated, and used to classify the user's eye movement state using machine learning techniques).

    Abstract: An electronic device that includes a display and an eye tracker configured to collect eye tracking data regarding a gaze of one or more of a user's eyes across the display is disclosed herein. The electronic device includes processing circuitry that is operatively coupled to the display and configured to foveate one or more areas of the display according to the eye tracking data. If the eye tracking data input is lost, the processing circuitry is configured to recover from the loss of eye tracking data by changing one or more aspects of the foveated areas (e.g., size, resolution, etc.) until a threshold is satisfied. As time elapses since loss of eye tracking, the foveated areas move toward a center or a salient region of the display.

    Abstract: Tracking an eye characteristic (e.g., gaze direction or pupil position) of a user's eyes by staggering image capture and using a predicted relationship between the user's eyes between eye captures to predict that eye's eye characteristic between those eye captures. Images of a user's eyes are captured in a staggered manner in the sense that the images of second eye are captured between the capture times of the images of the first eye and vice versa. An eye characteristic of the first eye at the capture times is determined based on the images of the first eye at those times. In addition, the eye characteristic of that first eye is predicted at additional times between captures based on a predicted relationship between the eyes.
