Abstract
Eye data is captured with one or more sensors of a head mounted device. The one or more sensors are configured to sense an eyebox region. A differential value is generated by comparing the eye data to previous data. A user notification is generated in response to the differential value reaching an outlier threshold value.
Claims20
A method of operating a head mounted device, the method comprising:
- capturing eye data for a user with one or more sensors of the head mounted device, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to sense an eyebox region;
- generating a differential value by comparing the eye data to previous data, the previous data including at least one of a pupil size previously captured for an eye of one or more users, speed of pupil dilation previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, a gaze direction previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, or eye-movement data previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, and wherein the differential value is based on at least one a differences in pupil size, a difference in pupil dilation speed, a difference in gaze direction, or a difference in eye-movement;
- and
- generating a user notification in response to the differential value reaching an outlier threshold value.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, for operating a head mounted device, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
- capturing eye data for a user with one or more sensors of the head mounted device, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to sense an eyebox region;
- generating differential values by comparing the eye data to previous data, the previous data including at least one of a pupil size previously captured for an eye of one or more users, speed of pupil dilation previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, a gaze direction previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, or eye-movement data previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, and wherein the differential value is based on at least one a differences in pupil size, a difference in pupil dilation speed, a difference in gaze direction, or a difference in eye-movement;
- and
- generating a concussion notification in response to the differential values remaining outside an outlier threshold value for an extended time period.
A head mounted device comprising:
- an eye-tracking system including one or more sensors configured to capture eye data from an eyebox region of the head mounted device;
- and
- processing logic configured to:
- capture eye data for a user with the eye-tracking system of the head mounted device;
- generate a differential value by comparing the eye data to previous data, the previous data including at least one of a pupil size previously captured for an eye of one or more users, speed of pupil dilation previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, a gaze direction previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, or eye-movement data previously captured for the eye of the one or more users, and wherein the differential value is based on at least one a differences in pupil size, a difference in pupil dilation speed, a difference in gaze direction, or a difference in eye-movement;
- and
- generate a user notification in response to the differential value reaching an outlier threshold value.
