Modeling of an eye-imaging system for optimizing illumination schemes in an eye-tracked head-mounted display

Abstract

While the augmentation of head-mounted displays (HMDs) with eye-tracking (ET) capabilities adds challenges to designing compact and portable displays, a systematic approach to integration offers opportunities to improve overall performance and robustness. To investigate the design and optimization of illumination schemes in an ET-HMD system, we present a simulated eye illumination and imaging system, which allows us to explore the critical parameters that affect the quality of the eye illumination. We present details on the modeling process and simulation results.

5.1: Invited Paper: An integrated holographic waveguide system for display and infrared imaging

“…Man y technology companies, such as Magic Leap, Lu mus, Oculus, Google, and Microsoft, have introdu ced their AR near-eye display devices with eye tr acking. However, the eye tracking module of thes e devices [2] is separate from the display module, causing the device to be heavy. In order to reali ze the miniaturization of the system, we propose a novel holographic waveguide display system, w hich integrates the infrared tracking module with t he visible light display module through the design of visible light and infrared light common light path.…”
