  • Patent number: 11556741
    Abstract: A method for creating and updating a database is disclosed. In one example, the method includes presenting a first stimulus to a first user wearing a head-wearable device, using a first camera of the head-wearable device to generate. When the first user is expected to respond to the first stimulus or expected to have responded to the first stimulus, using a second camera of the head-wearable device to generate a first right image of at least a portion of the right eye of the first user. A data connection is established between the head-wearable device and the database. A first dataset is generated comprising the first left image, the first right image and a first representation of a gaze-related parameter, the first representation being correlated with the first stimulus, and adding the first dataset to a device database.

  • Patent number: 11537202
    Abstract: A system and method for generating data suitable for calibrating a head-wearable device is disclosed. In one example the device includes a first eye camera and a scene camera. The first eye camera is used to generate first images of at least a portion of a first eye of the user while the user is expected to look at the object and mimic the not translatory movement. Respective positions of the object in the field images are determined. The determined positions of the object are used to determine the first images respective ground truth values of at least one gaze-direction related parameter of the user.

  • Patent number: 11393251
    Abstract: A method for detecting one or more gaze-related parameters of a user is disclosed. In one example, the method includes creating a left image of at least a portion of a left eye of the user using a first camera of a head-wearable device worn by the user, and creating a right image of at least a portion of a right eye of the user using a second camera of the head-wearable device. The left and right images are fed together as an input into a convolutional neural network. One or more gaze-related parameters are obtained from the convolutional neural network as a result of the left and right images input.

  • Patent number: 11194161
    Abstract: A head-wearable spectacles device for determining one or more gaze-related parameters of a user is disclosed. In one example, the device includes a spectacles body having a middle plane and configured for being wearable on a user's head, and at least a left and a right ocular opening, wherein both ocular openings define a bounding cuboid having an upper surface, a lower surface, a left lateral surface, and a right lateral surface. The upper surface of the bounding cuboid is oriented perpendicular to the middle plane of the spectacles body.
