Method for generating a video comprising blink data of a user viewing a scene

A sensor unit for generating a video comprising blink data of a user viewing a scene depicted as video data, wherein the blink data is overlayed on the video data, the sensor unit comprising:

• one or more sensors configured to capture sensor data, and a computer comprising a processor;
• and
• a memory, said memory containing instructions executable by said processor, whereby said computer is operative to perform operations comprising:
• receiving sensor data, wherein the sensor data at least comprises:
• the video data, comprising at least one video frame, and
• gaze tracking data at least indicative of viewed positions within the scene depicted by the at least one video frame of the video data;
• processing the sensor data to generate blink data indicative of blink motion of at least one eye of the user;
• generating a video overlay by rendering the blink data;
• and
• generating an output video by mixing the video data and the video overlay.

A system for generating a video comprising blink data of a user viewing a scene depicted as video data, wherein the blink data is overlayed on the video data, the system comprising:

• at least one sensor unit comprising one or more sensors configured to capture sensor data, wherein the sensor data at least comprises the video data, comprising at least one video frame, and gaze tracking data at least indicative of viewed positions within the scene depicted by the at least one video frame of the video data;
• a first computer;
• and
• a second computer, wherein the first computer is operative to send sensor data to
• the second computer, and the second computer is operative to perform operations comprising:
• receiving sensor data, wherein the sensor data at least comprises:
• the video data, comprising at least one video frame, and gaze tracking data at least indicative of viewed positions within the scene depicted by the at least one video frame of the video data;
• processing the sensor data to generate blink data indicative of blink motion of at least one eye of the user;
• generating a video overlay by rendering the blink data;
• and
• generating an output video by mixing the video data and the video overlay.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving sensor data, wherein the sensor data at least comprises:
• the video data, comprising at least one video frame, and
• gaze tracking data at least indicative of viewed positions within the scene depicted by the at least one video frame of the video data;
• processing the sensor data to generate blink data indicative of blink motion of at least one eye of the user;
• generating a video overlay by rendering the blink data;
• and
• generating an output video by mixing the video data and the video overlay.
