Abstract: A robot eye and two different eye tracking systems may be used in tandem to determine the accuracy of eye tracking software that is used as part of one of the eye tracking systems. If inaccurate, the eye tracking software may then be adjusted in response. In various example embodiments, a camera may be used in one of the eye tracking systems to then track movement of the robot eye using the eye tracking software itself. Also in various example embodiments, the other eye tracking system may include components such magnetic sensors, optical sensors like CMOS sensors, and/or lasers for tracking the same movement of the robot eye.

Abstract: A head-mounted display, a display control method, and a program that facilitate a user to understand proximity between the user and an object around the user are provided. A display block (36) is arranged in front of the eyes of the user wearing a HMD (12). In accordance with proximity between the user and an object around the user, the HMD (12) controls the display block (36) so as to have the user visually recognize a forward direction of the display block (36).

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing which LEDs in a HMD to use, the brightness of those LEDs, and camera exposure are divulged based on the particular function to be performed. For instance, one set of optimization parameters may be implemented for eye tracking purposes while a different set of optimization parameters may be implemented for eye-based authentication purposes.

Abstract: Techniques for simulating fast eye movement of a robot to mimic human eye saccade are divulged in cases of the robot eyes being moved by actuators that cannot move the eyes fast enough in real time to mimic saccade. Image capture timing is adjusted (i.e., slowed down) to track the speed of the actuators. Then, the resulting sequence of images is time-compressed back to video playback speed so that the video appears to show the robot eye undergoing saccade at human eye speeds.

Abstract: A tracking system uses one or more light sources to direct light toward one or more of a user's eyes. A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) operably coupled to a processor is configured to view the user's eyes. The DVS has an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration. The DVS outputs signals corresponding to events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light from the light sources reflecting from a portion of the user's eyes. The output signals include information corresponding to locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array. The processor determines an association between each event and a corresponding particular light source and fits an orientation of the user's eyes using the determined association, the relative location of the light sources with respect to the user's eyes and the locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array.

Abstract: A position and orientation of a controller are determined from a known configuration of two or more light sources with respect to each other and with respect to a controller body and from output signals from a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) generated in response to changes in light output from the light sources. The output signals indicate times events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in an array in the DVS and array locations of the light-sensitive elements. A position and orientation of one or more objects are determined from signals generated by two or more light-sensitive elements resulting from other light reaching the two or more light-sensitive elements.

Abstract: A DVS has an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration and outputs signals corresponding to events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light output from two or more light sources in a known configuration with respect to each other and with respect to a controller body. The signals indicate times of the events and array locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements. Filters selectively transmit light from the light sources to light-sensitive elements in the array and selectively block other light from reaching those elements and vice versa. A processor determines a position and orientation of the controller from times of the events, array locations of corresponding light-sensitive elements, and the known light source configuration and determines a position and orientation of one or more objects from signals generated by two or more light-sensitive elements resulting from other light.

Abstract: Techniques and devices are described for detecting and addressing irregularities in one or more display panels that are used for presenting virtual reality (VR) images. Thus, based on one or more detected irregularities, an electronic system can determine a metric by which to warp an image to account for the display panel irregularities and then use the metric for subsequent rendering of images.
