  • Patent number: 10739850
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking gaze information of a user includes detecting, by a sensor of a head mounted display, that a user is wearing the HMD. An encoded signal indicative of glasses being worn with the HMD, by the user, is detected by the sensor of the HMD. In response to processing the encoded signal, a gaze detection function of the HMD is disabled by the HMD. Encoded gaze data transmitted by the glasses is received by the HMD. The encoded gaze data is processed by an image frame processor and used to adjust image frames produced for rendering on a display screen of the HMD.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10001645
    Abstract: Methods for extending a viewing area of a display device for displaying content include detecting presence of an eye glass computing device proximate to a primary computing device. The primary computing device has a primary display that is configured to render content. The eye glass computing device includes a secondary device. The eye glass computing device is linked to the primary computing device. A view direction of the eye glass computing device is detected relative to the primary display. Additional content is rendered in the secondary display that is in addition to the content rendered in the primary display. The secondary display is an extension of the primary display for viewing the content beyond the content rendered on the primary display.
