  • Publication number: 20180284886
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computer of recovering a visual event, comprising: by means of a graphical user interface, the contents of a viewport is displayed to a user as the viewport is progressively moved across graphical portions of a visual media object; while the contents of the viewport is displayed, recording an eye movement signal that is indicative of the movements of a user's at least one eye, classifying temporal sections of the eye movement signal into at least a class of long slow-phase OKN eye movements occurring among short slow-phase eye movements; setting a synchronization marker at least for a first occurrence of a temporal section classified as a smooth pursuit eye movement; wherein the synchronization marker comprises a link to or impression information of the contents of the viewport at the point in time when the first occurrence of a smooth pursuit eye movement occurred; via the synchronization marker, recovering the impression information or the contents of the viewport that wa

  • Patent number: 9791927
    Abstract: Methods and systems to facilitate eye tracking control calibration are provided. One or more objects are displayed on a display of a device, where the one or more objects are associated with a function unrelated to a calculation of one or more calibration parameters. The one or more calibration parameters relate to a calibration of a calculation of gaze information of a user of the device, where the gaze information indicates where the user is looking. While the one or more objects are displayed, eye movement information associated with the user is determined, which indicates eye movement of one or more eye features associated with at least one eye of the user. The eye movement information is associated with a first object location of the one or more objects. The one or more calibration parameters are calculated based on the first object location being associated with the eye movement information.

  • Publication number: 20160231812
    Abstract: A mobile gaze-tracking system is provided. The user operates the system by looking at the gaze tracking unit and at pre-defined regions at the fringe of the tracking unit. The gaze tracking unit may be placed on a smartwatch, a wristband, or woven into a sleeve of a garment. The unit provides feedback to the user in response to the received command input. The unit provides feedback to the user on how to position the mobile unit in front of his eyes. The gaze tracking unit interacts with one or more controlled devices via wireless or wired communications. Example devices include a lock, a thermostat, a light or a TV. The connection between the gaze tracking unit may be temporary or longer-lasting. The gaze tracking unit may detect features of the eye that provide information about the identity of the user.
