Patent number: 11650425Abstract: Computer-generated image data is presented on first and second displays of a binocular headset presuming that a user's left and right eyes are located at first and second positions relative to the first and second displays respectively. At least one updated version of the image data is presented, which is rendered presuming that at least one of the user's left and right eyes is located at a position different from the first and second positions respectively in at least one spatial dimension. In response thereto, a user-generated feedback signal is received expressing either: a quality measure of the updated version of the computer-generated image data relative to computer-generated image data presented previously; or a confirmation command. The steps of presenting the updated version of the computer-generated image data and receiving the user-generated feedback signal are repeated until the confirmation command is received.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Tobil ABInventors: Geoffrey Cooper, Rickard Lundahl, Erik Lindén, Maria Gordon

Patent number: 10528131Abstract: A system and techniques for calibrating an eye tracking system are described. The system can update the calibration of personal calibration parameters continuously based on a user's gaze on a user interface, following user interface stimulus events. The system improves continuous calibration techniques by determining an association between the user's eye sequences and the stimulus events, and updates the personal calibration parameters accordingly. A record indicative of a user gaze, including eye sequences, such as eye movements or eye fixations, is maintained over a time period. A user interface stimulus event associated with the user interface and occurring within the time period is detected. An association is determined between the eye sequence and the user interface stimulus event. An interaction observation that includes the eye sequence and a location of the stimulus event is generated. Personal calibration parameters are updated based on the interaction observation.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Tobii ABInventors: Alexander Davies, Maria Gordon, Per-Edvin Stoltz
