Method for detecting gestures of an eye

Abstract

A method for identifying eye gestures of an eye includes the steps of emitting at least one laser beam onto the eye determining a single measuring sample having current values for: an optical path length of the emitted laser beam; a signal-to-noise ratio of radiation scattered back from the eye; an eye speed of the eye; and identifying an eye gesture based on the single measuring sample, wherein the optical path length is determined based on laser feedback interferometry of the emitted laser radiation with the radiation scattered back from the eye, and wherein the eye speed is determined based on a Doppler shift of the emitted radiation and the radiation scattered back, determined by means of the laser feedback interferometry.
