Abstract
A system is disclosed in which an eye-tracking sensor signal is received and a moving image is generated to be rendered on one or more displays based on the eye-tracking sensor signal. Responsive to an input control signal from a user-operable control device or based on a determination that the user's gaze direction is tracking the moving image, the system adjusts the moving image.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- storage accessible by the processor and storing executable machine instructions;
- a first interface coupled to the processor, the first interface to provide video data to a first display within a headset and receive eye-tracking sensor signals;
- and
- a second interface coupled to the processor, the second interface to receive an input control signal from a user-operable control device;
- wherein, when executed, the machine instructions cause the processor to:
- render a moving image on the first display at an oscillation frequency based on the eye-tracking sensor signals;
- and
- responsive to the input control signal, lower the oscillation frequency of the moving image.

A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- storage accessible by the processor and storing executable machine instructions;
- a first interface coupled to the processor, the interface to provide video data to a first display within a headset and receive eye-tracking sensor signals;
- and
- a second interface coupled to the processor, the second interface to receive an input control signal from a user-operable control device;
- wherein, when executed, the machine instructions cause the processor to:
- determine a gaze direction using the eye-tracking sensor signals;
- render a moving image on the first display to track the gaze direction;
- and
- responsive to the input control signal, slow the moving image such that the moving image no longer tracks the determined gaze direction.
7 more elements
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions to determine a dynamically changing gaze direction from an eye-tracking sensor signal;
- instructions to cause a moving image to be rendered on a display to track the determined dynamically changing gaze direction;
- instructions to adjust a speed of the moving image such that the moving image does not track the determined dynamically changing gaze direction;
- instructions to determine, based on the eye-tracking sensor signal, whether the dynamically changing gaze direction is tracking the adjusted speed of the moving image;
- and
- instructions to, responsive to a determination that the dynamically changing gaze direction is tracking the adjusted speed of the moving image, again adjust the speed of the moving image.
