Abstract
According to one embodiment, an eye movement detecting device comprises first, second, third, fourth and fifth electrodes. A line connecting the first and the third electrodes passes through the right eye and a line connecting the second and the fourth electrodes passes through the left eye on at least one of a front view, a plan view or a side view. A distance between the fifth and the first electrodes is equal to a distance between the fifth and the second electrodes. A distance between the fifth and the third electrodes is equal to a distance between the fifth and the fourth electrodes. The detector respectively detects a horizontal movement of the right eye and a horizontal movement of the left eye.
Claims4
A wearable device comprising:
- a frame worn by a user and comprising a display configured to display a real world and an augmented reality image;
- a detector configured to detect a right eye movement of a right eye of the user, a left eye movement of a left eye of the user, and a convergence angle at which a line of sight of the right eye and a line of sight of the left eye of the user intersect based on the right eye movement and the left eye movement, wherein a first convergence angle is detected when the user looks at a first object at a first distance in the real world, a second convergence angle is detected when the user looks at a second object at a second distance in the real world, and the first distance is shorter than the second distance;
- and
- a processor configured to cause the display to display an augmented reality image when the detector detects the second distance, the augmented reality image comprising a name of the second object, and to stop display of the augmented reality image when the detector detects the first distance.
A display method for a wearable device comprising a frame worn by a user and comprising a display configured to display a real world and an augmented reality image;
- and a detector configured to detect a right eye movement of a right eye of the user, a left eye movement of a left eye of the user, and a convergence angle at which a line of sight of the right eye and a line of sight of the left eye of the user intersect based on the right eye movement and the left eve movement wherein a first convergence angle is detected when the user looks at a first object at a first distance in the real world, a second convergence angle is detected when the user looks at a second object at a second distance in the real world, and the first distance is shorter than the second distance the method comprising:
- causing the display to display an augmented reality image when the detector detects the second distance, the augmented reality image comprising a name of the second object;
- and
- causing the display to stop display of the augmented reality image when the detector detects the first distance.
