  • Publication number: 20220414921
    Abstract: A gaze tracking system includes a contact lens, a photodetector element, a light conditioning element and electronics. The contact lens includes a fiducial having a position. The photodetector element receives a light signal from the fiducial and provides a photodetector output signal. The light signal provides a light intensity pattern at the photodetector. The optical conditioning element receives the light signal and provides a variation in the light intensity pattern on the photodetector in response to changes in the position of the fiducial. And the electronics process the photodetector output signal to calculate the position of the fiducial. A method includes detecting a light signal from a fiducial included in a contact lens, and tracking the contact lens by analyzing the light signal.
