  • Publication number: 20230108738
    Abstract: A method for determining if a head-mounted device for extended reality is correctly positioned and performing a position correction procedure if the head-mounted device is determined to be incorrectly positioned, including performing eye tracking by estimating, based on a first image of a first eye of a user, a position of a pupil in two dimensions. The method also includes determining whether the estimated position of the pupil of the first eye is within a predetermined allowable area in the first image. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the estimated position of the pupil of the first eye is inside the predetermined allowable area, that the head-mounted device is correctly positioned on the user, or, responsive to determining that the position of the pupil of the first eye is outside the predetermined allowable area, that the head-mounted device is incorrectly positioned on the user.

  • Patent number: 11551376
    Abstract: There is provided a method and system for determining if a head-mounted device for extended reality (XR) is correctly positioned on a user, and optionally performing a position correction procedure if the head-mounted device is determined to be incorrectly positioned on the user. Embodiments include: performing eye tracking by estimating, based on a first image of a first eye of the user, a position of a pupil in two dimensions; determining whether the estimated position of the pupil of the first eye is within a predetermined allowable area in the first image; and, if the determined position of the pupil of the first eye is inside the predetermined allowable area, concluding that the head-mounted device is correctly positioned on the user; or, if the determined position of the pupil of the first eye is outside the predetermined allowable area, concluding that the head-mounted device is incorrectly positioned on the user.

  • Publication number: 20070078626
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method that generates new flow cytometry data files with a potentially infinite number of dimensions, each event contained in these data files having associated information for each of the whole set of parameters evaluated, such information deriving from data which was either directly measured in the flow cytometer or estimated afterwards.
