The present invention relates to a method for determining the direction in which a user is looking, which includes acquiring images of the eye, in particular by means of an optical sensor, the method including: a) a first processing of the images, yielding information on the orientation of the eye according to the observation of an area of the eye in which the aspect varies with the rotation of the eye; and b) a second processing of the images, yielding information on the kinematics of the eye by comparing at least two consecutive images; method in which information is generated relating to the direction in which the user is looking relative to the head of the user, at least according to the information supplied by the first and second processes.
A method for determining the direction of the gaze of a user comprising the acquisition of images of the eye, with the aid of at least one optical sensor, the method comprising:
The method as claimed in which the first processing comprises the determination of the parameters related to the shape of the ellipse corresponding to the pupil so as to determine the position of a point of the eye.
