  • Apparatus and method for estimating eye gaze location
    Patent number: 10650533
    Abstract: A method for tracking eye movement is provided. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a first measurement from a first sensor configured to detect a gaze location, determining an initial gaze location based at least on the first measurement, receiving at least one of eye motion amplitude and eye motion direction measurement from a second sensor, and determining an estimated gaze location based at least on the initial gaze location and the at least one of eye motion amplitude and eye motion direction. Systems perform similar steps, and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums each store one or more computer programs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.
    Inventors: Dominic Saul Mallinson, Eric James Larsen, Jeffrey Roger Stafford
