Abstract: A medical information processing system according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry and a display. On the basis of one of the type of at least one abnormality detection algorithm to which a medical image related to an examined subject is to be input and information relevant to an abnormality detected by inputting the medical image to the abnormality detection algorithm, the processing circuitry judges whether or not urgency is present in a disorder related to the abnormality. When it is determined that the urgency is present, the display displays, in an examination list of examination orders, assessment information related to assessing the abnormality and urgency information indicating the urgency so as to be positioned adjacent to any of the examination orders related to the abnormality.

Abstract: An eye tracking system for detecting position and movements of a user's eyes in a head-mounted display (HMD). The eye tracking system includes at least one eye tracking camera, an illumination source that emits infrared light towards the user's eyes, and diffraction gratings located at the eyepieces. The diffraction gratings redirect or reflect at least a portion of infrared light reflected off the user's eyes, while allowing visible light to pass. The cameras capture images of the user's eyes from the infrared light that is redirected or reflected by the diffraction gratings.

The cameras are positioned along a spherical surface so that the cameras have adjacent fields of view. The entrance pupils of the cameras are positioned at or near the user's eye while the cameras also form optimized images at the sensor. Methods for reducing the number of cameras in an array, as well as methods for reducing the number of pixels read from the array and processed by the pipeline, are also described.
