  • Publication number: 20200379555
    Abstract: An information processing system includes: a display processing unit configured to display an image on a display unit; a detection unit configured to detect a gaze of a user viewing the image displayed on the display unit; an extraction unit configured to extract an operation signal correlated with a movement of the gaze of the user detected by the detection unit with reference to correlation data in which predetermined movements of a gaze are correlated with operation signals preset to correspond to the predetermined movements of a gaze; and an execution unit configured to execute an operation corresponding to the operation signal extracted by the extraction unit.

  • Publication number: 20190012528
    Abstract: A facial expression recognition system including a head mounted display including a first camera that images eyes of a user, a second camera that images a mouth of the user, and an output unit that outputs a first image captured by the first camera and a second image captured by the second camera; and a facial expression recognition device including a reception unit that receives the first image and the second image output by the output unit, and an expression recognition unit that recognizes a facial expression of the user on the basis of the first image and the second image.

  • Publication number: 20180247458
    Abstract: Appropriate reduction of transferred data volume is used to deliver interruption-free video to a user, minimizing viewing discomfort. A head-mounted display secured to the head of a user and a video generating device that generates a video for presentation to the user by the head-mounted display are combined in a video system. In the head-mounted display, a presentation unit presents the video to the user, an imaging unit captures an image of the user's eye, the first communication unit sends the captured image to the video generating device, and receives the video from the video generating device.

  • Publication number: 20180106999
    Abstract: A gaze detection system includes a head mounted display including a gaze detection device detecting a gaze of a user; and a tracking unit that determines a gaze point of the user in the three-dimensional image on the basis of the gaze directions of the right and left eyes, in which the first detection unit calculates a right eye gaze vector indicating the gaze direction of the right eye, and the second detection unit calculates a left eye gaze vector indicating the gaze direction of the left eye, wherein a display unit displays a three-dimensional image consisting of a plurality of layers in a depth direction, and a tracking unit identifies the layer that the user is gazing at by selecting the layer having a shortest distance between intersection points of the right eye gaze vector and the left eye gaze vector with each layer.

  • Patent number: 9880384
    Abstract: A gaze detection system includes a head mounted display and a gaze detection device detecting the gaze of the user. The head mounted display illuminate users eyes with infrared light, displays three-dimensional image comprising a plurality of layers in the depth direction and captures an image of user's eye illuminated by the infrared light. The gaze detection device detects the user's right eye's gaze direction (vector) and left eye's gaze direction (vector) with use of the captured images. The gaze detection device identifies the layer that the user is gazing at by selecting the layer having the shortest distance between the intersection points of the right eye gaze vector and the left eye gaze vector with each layer as a gaze point in the depth direction.
