  • Publication number: 20180129279
    Abstract: A gaze monitoring system comprising: an eye tracker comprising; a camera having an optical axis; a first IR source configured to illuminate a user's eyes; the first IR source located relatively near the optical axis of the camera; and at least one second IR source configured to illuminate the user's eyes, the at least one second IR source located relatively far from the camera's optical axis, in a position such that when the gaze angle is too large to get corneal reflection images of the first IR source, the image reflection of the at least one second IR source is visible by the camera, as a corneal reflection.
