Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for Eye-Gaze Tracking (EGT) handoff are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect an event during a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality (xR) application, where a user wears a Head-Mounted Device (HMD) comprising a first Eye-Gaze Tracking (EGT) system, and where the user operates an external display comprising a second EGT system; and in response to the event, select the first or second EGT system.
Claims20
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to:
- calibrate a first Eye-Gaze Tracking (EGT) system and a second EGT system;
- detect an event during a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality (xR) application, wherein a user wears a Head-Mounted Device (HMD) comprising the first EGT system, and wherein the user operates an external display comprising the second EGT system;
- and
- in response to the event, select the first or second EGT system based upon the calibration data.
A method, comprising:
- calibrating a first Eye-Gaze Tracking (EGT) system and a second EGT system;
- detecting an event during a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality (xR) application, wherein a user wears a Head-Mounted Device (HMD) comprising the first EGT system, and wherein the user operates an external display comprising the second EGT system;
- and
- in response to the event, selecting the first or second EGT system based on the calibration data.
A hardware memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
- calibrate a first Eye-Gaze Tracking (EGT) camera and a second EGT camera;
- detect an event during a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality (xR) application, wherein a user wears a Head-Mounted Device (HMD) comprising the first EGT camera, and wherein the user operates an external display comprising the second EGT camera;
- and
- in response to the event, select the first or second EGT cameras based on the calibration data.
