A Nonobscuring Eye Tracking Solution for Wide Field-of-View Head-mounted Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a solution for integrating a binocular eye tracker into current state-of-the-art lens-based head-mounted displays (HMDs) without affecting the available field-of-view on the display. Estimating the relative eye gaze of the user opens the door for HMDs to a much wider spectrum of virtual reality applications and games. Further, we present a concept of a low-cost head-mounted display with eye tracking and discuss applications which strongly depend on or benefit from gaze estimation.

Integration of eye tracking capability into optical see-through head- mounted displays
While head-mounted display (HMD) technologies have undergone great developments since the first HMD for 3D visualization originated by Ivan Sutherland in the 1960’s, HMD technologies have suffered from tradeoffs in capability and limitation. The main issues of HMDs include the tradeoff between resolution and field of view (FOV), the presence of large distortion for wide field of view designs, t...
متن کاملThe influence of head-mounted displays on head and eye movements during visual search
This report describes an eye-tracking experiment which was conducted in the context of the student project Analyse und Modellierung von Blickbewegungen (Analysis and Modeling of Eye Movements) in summer term 2009 at Bielefeld University. The goal was to determine the influence of headmounted displays (HMDs) on natural visual search behavior. Subjects were instructed to find a previously specifi...
متن کاملUltra-wide FOV Retinal Display
Currently available screen and retinal head mounted displays have insufficient field of view to fully exploit many virtual and augmented reality applications. Screen based displays suffer from weight and size restrictions as the image sources, electronics, and viewing optics need to be head mounted. Retinal displays need only the scanning and optical delivery components to be head mounted, but ...
متن کاملPredictive tracking for head - mounted displays A dissertation proposal
First demonstrated in 1968 [Suther68], head-mounted displays [HMDs] have the potential to immerse a user inside a “virtual world,” where the user can view and interact with computer-generated three-dimensional environments. However, today’s systems far fall short of creating completely convincing virtual environments. Much work remains in overcoming limitations in the technologies that drive HM...
متن کاملA Superwide-FOV Optical Design for Head-Mounted Displays
We present a new optical design for head-mounted displays (HMD) that has an exceptionally wide field of view (FOV). It can cover even the full human FOV. It is based on seamless lenses and screens curved around the eyes. We constructed several compact and lightweight proof-of-concept prototypes of the optical design. One of them far exceeds the human FOV, although the anatomy of the human head ...
