Abstract

A method for determining if an object has been observed by user, said object being rendered in a graphical environment provided to a user with a head-mounted device, where the computer generated graphical environment is able to change over time. The method includes a) determining if the geometric proportion S of the size of the object, in relation to the total field of view generated in the graphical environment, is larger than a predetermined threshold value (Smin), and, if S is larger than Smin, determining for how long time (T) that S is greater than Smin, and if T is greater than a predetermined time Tmin, determining that the object has been observed by the user.

Dependent claims

A method for determining if an object rendered on a display has been observed by a user, said object being rendered in a computer-generated graphical environment provided on the display to a user, the method comprising the steps of:

a) using proportion determination software to determine the display area that is used to render the object,
b) using the proportion determination software to determine the proportion (S) of the area of step a) in relation to the total field of view generated in the graphical environment,
c) the proportion determination software providing S to observation determination software,
d) using the observation detection software to determine if the proportion of the display area used to render the object is larger than a predetermined threshold value (Smin), and, if S is larger than Smin, determining for how long time (T) that S is greater than Smin, and
if T is greater than a predetermined time Tmin, determining that the object has been observed by the user,
