  • Publication number: 20240005698
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for generating a predicted eye gaze of a user and or a predicted head pose of a user. In examples, feature information for a first eye of a user is generated based on a first image and a second image, where the first image is received from a first image sensor and the second image is received from a second image sensor. Feature information for a second eye of the user and facial landmark features are generated based on the first image and the second image. A predicted eye gaze for the user and/or a predicted head pose for the user may be based on the extracted feature information for the first eye, the second eye, and the extracted facial landmark features, and a confidence level for the predictions can be based on a hinge angle between the image sensors.
