  • Patent number: 11899209
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) wearable assembly is described herein. The VR wearable assembly includes a wearable frame adapted to be worn over a patient's eyes and a pair of photosensor oculography (PSOG) assemblies mounted to the wearable frame such that each PSOG assembly is positioned adjacent a corresponding eye of the patient. Each PSOG assembly includes a display housing having an inner surface defining an interior cavity extending between a first end and second end, a micro-OLED display coupled to the display housing and positioned within the interior cavity adjacent the second end of the display housing, an eye tracking assembly coupled to the display housing and positioned adjacent the first end of the display housing, and a pancake lens mounted to the display housing and positioned within the interior cavity between the eye tracking assembly and the micro-OLED display.

  • Publication number: 20230410405
    Abstract: A virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) wearable assembly is described herein. The VR/AR wearable assembly includes a display device, a photosensor oculography (PSOG) assembly including an eye tracking assembly, and a processor coupled to the PSOG assembly and the display device. The processor including an eye-tracking module configured to execute an algorithm to render computer-generated images on the display device including the steps of detecting a saccade of a corresponding eye of the patient via the eye tracking assembly and determining an initial saccade gaze position location of the corresponding eye associated with the detected saccade, determining a peak velocity of the saccade, determining a final saccade end gaze position based on the determined peak velocity of the saccade, and rendering a foveated image on the display device at an image location corresponding to the determined final saccade end gaze position.

  • Patent number: 11816260
    Abstract: A virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) wearable assembly is described herein. The VR/AR wearable assembly includes a wearable frame adapted to be worn over a patient's eyes, a pair of photosensor oculography (PSOG) assemblies mounted to the wearable frame with each PSOG assembly including a display and an eye tracking assembly, and a processor coupled to each PSOG assembly. The processor is configured to execute an algorithm to continuously calibrate the eye tracking assembly including the steps of rendering a sequence of images on a corresponding display and calibrating a corresponding eye tracking assembly by establishing a display coordinate system associated with the corresponding display, determining predicted fixation locations and estimated gaze position locations within the display coordinate system, and determining an offset gaze position value by mapping the estimated gaze position location to the predicted fixation location within the display coordinate system.

  • Publication number: 20230359274
    Abstract: A virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) wearable assembly is described herein. The VR/AR wearable assembly includes a support frame, a display mounted to the support frame, a plurality of light emitters configured to illuminate an area of a subject's eye, a plurality of photosensors configured to receive reflected light from different portions of the illuminated subject's eye, and a controller operatively coupled to the display, the plurality of light emitters, and the plurality of photosensors. The controller includes a processor programmed to execute an algorithm including the steps of alternating illumination of the light emitters to generate predefined lighting patterns, acquiring data from the plurality of photosensors when corresponding light emitters are illuminated, mapping intensities of reflected light based on the acquired data from the plurality of photosensors, and determining a gaze position of the subject's eye based on the mapped intensities of reflected light.

  • Patent number: 11740695
    Abstract: An eye tracking system for use with a head-mounted display (HMD) unit is described. The eye tracking system includes a support frame mounted to the HMD unit, a light source mounted to the support frame and configured to illuminate an area of a patient eye, a plurality of photosensors mounted to the support frame and configured to receive reflected light from different portions of the illuminated patient eye, a temperature sensor mounted to the support frame and configured to measure a temperature of the photosensors, and a processor. The processor is programmed to execute an algorithm including a processing module that compensates photosensor measurement error due to variable operating temperature in the HMD unit, and an eye-tracking module that determines a gaze position of the patient eye using a mapping between intensities of photosensors and a gaze position estimated during a calibration procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230147006
    Abstract: A method of determination of a trajectory of a living tissue, in which subsequent frames representing images of living tissue are acquired with at least a first imaging device and at least a first segment of a trajectory of the living tissue is determined with a use of relative displacements of at least first subset of subsequent frames and recalculation thereof to coordinates corresponding to time of frame acquisition to form a vector Tm elements tm wherein element tm is at least one coordinate of living tissue, element tm of vector Tm is determined with a use of relative displacements pm,k of at least two preceding frames.
