  • Patent number: 10895909
    Abstract: According to the invention, a system for presenting graphics on a display device is disclosed. The system may include an eye tracking device configured to determine a gaze point of a user on a display device. The system may also include a processing device configured to combine a quality map generated based on the gaze point of the user and another quality map generated based on factors independent of the gaze point of the user to generate a combined quality map. The processing device is further configured to cause a rendered image to be displayed on the display device and the quality of each area of the rendered image displayed on the display device is determined based, at least in part, upon the combined quality map.

  • Patent number: 10895908
    Abstract: According to the invention, techniques for refining a ballistic prediction are described. In an example, an eye tracking system may record images over time of content presented on a display. Saccade data may be received and used as a trigger to retrieve particular ones of the recoded images. The eye tracking system may compare the images to identify a change in the content. The location of this change may correspond to a sub-area of the display. The output of the ballistic prediction may include a landing point that represents an anticipated gaze point. This landing point may be adjusted such that a gaze point is now predicted to fall within the sub-area when the change is significant.
