Eye tracking within near-to-eye display

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of the gaze interaction within near-to-eye display. The practical aspect of the paper is about combining an eye tracker with smart glasses. Presented research is related with the eGlasses project, which is focused on the development of an open platform in the form of multisensory electronic glasses and related interaction methods. One of the implemented interaction methods is the one based on eye tracking module. Both, the advantages and limitation of the method are discussed. We also considering the calibration free method of fixation points estimation within the near-to-eye display.

Performance Analysis of Interaction between Smart Glasses and Smart Objects Using Image-Based Object Identification

“…It is essential for the reliable transformation from the pupil position to accurate and precise "cursor" position on the near-to-eye display. The used eye-tracking algorithm was previously described in [26] and the study dedicated to the accuracy analysis in reference to near-to-eye display was presented in [24]. Here we analyzed the possible use of events that are related to eye movements for the interaction with a simple GUI of the smart object.…”

“…Some dedicated text/data entry methods can be used. Possible solutions include the application of the accelerometer [22], smart fabrics [23], or eye-tracker [24]. Other methods and comparison study were presented in [25].…”

“…The 640 × 480 resolution was chosen as the working resolution of the eye-scanning camera. It provides satisfactory gaze-point detection results with limited performance/power requirements [24]. After the calibration procedure, the transformation matrix is calculated in regard to the relative position of the test board's corners.…”

Etracker: A Mobile Gaze-Tracking System with Near-Eye Display Based on a Combined Gaze-Tracking Algorithm

“…Then the gaze positions were achieved according to a gaze-tracking model. Kocejko and Martin [ 27 ] proposed an eye-tracking device based on Google Glass and a low-resolution camera, but the resolution of the near-to-eye display is only pixels and the user experience is poor. Wang et al [ 28 ] presented a wearable gaze-tracking system and a 2D gaze estimation method based on the pupil-glint vector.…”

Cardiovascular data analysis using electronic wearable eyeglasses – preliminary study

“…The eyetracker camera enables user interface navigation in a hands-free mode This work has sponsored by the ERA-NET-CHIST-ERA II project The interactive eyeglasses for mobile, perceptual computing (eGlasses) and partly from Gdansk University if Technology -Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics statue funds. [2]. Additional proximity sensors might be used for obstacle detection [3].…”
