Abstract
One exemplary implementation displays a visual characteristic associated with an object on a display of a device and utilizes a sensor of the device to obtain physiological data associated with a pupillary response of a user to the visual characteristic. The device adjusts the visual characteristic based on the obtained physiological data to enhance pupillary responses of the user to the object and displays the adjusted visual characteristic to the user. For example, the adjusted visual characteristic may be selected based on previously identified pupillary responses of the user to particular visual characteristics.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- at a device comprising a processor:
- obtaining first pupillary data while displaying an element;
- detecting, based on the obtained first pupillary data, an intention to interact with the element by identifying pupil diameter changes;
- adjusting, based on the obtained first pupillary data and the detected intention to interact with the element, a visual characteristic associated with the element in response to determining that adjusting the visual characteristic will elicit an enhanced pupillary response;
- and
- displaying the element with the adjusted visual characteristic.
A device comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises program instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining first pupillary data while displaying an element;
- detecting, based on the obtained first pupillary data, an intention to interact with the element by identifying pupil diameter changes;
- adjusting, based on the obtained first pupillary data and the detected intention to interact with the element, a visual characteristic associated with the element in response to determining that adjusting the visual characteristic will elicit an enhanced pupillary response;
- and
- displaying the element with the adjusted visual characteristic.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing program instructions executable on a device to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining first pupillary data while displaying an element;
- detecting, based on the obtained first pupillary data, an intention to interact with the element by identifying pupil diameter changes;
- adjusting, based on the obtained first pupillary data and the detected intention to interact with the element, a visual characteristic associated with the element in response to determining that adjusting the visual characteristic will elicit an enhanced pupillary response;
- and
- displaying the element with the adjusted visual characteristic.
