  • Publication number: 20240161374
    Abstract: Systems and methods for avatar eye animation is provided. The method include obtaining a first gaze vector of a user associated with a first eye of the user and obtaining a second gaze vector of the user associated with a second eye of the user. The method further includes determining a first point in a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space that the user is looking toward. The method also includes creating a second point in the 3D virtual space corresponding to the first point in the 3D virtual space. The method then includes rendering a first eye and a second eye of an avatar of the user in the 3D virtual space based on the second point in the 3D virtual space such that the first eye and the second eye of the avatar are looking toward the second point in the 3D virtual space.

  • Patent number: 8120577
    Abstract: The present invention relates to entry of control commands into a computer in response to eye-tracker detected movement sequences of a point of regard over a graphical display, which is associated with the computer. A processing module in the computer causes the display to present graphical feedback information in the form of a data-manipulating window, which visually confirms any entered control commands. The data-manipulating window is presented at a position relative to an active control object on the display, such that a center point of the window is located within a relatively small offset distance from a center point of the active control object. The window includes graphical information, which symbolizes and activity portion of the display presently being the object of an eye-tracker-controlled entry of control commands. Moreover the information in the window is repeatedly updated in response to the eye-tracker-controlled entry of control commands.
