  • Patent number: 10997773
    Abstract: A method for providing imagery to a user on a display includes receiving eye tracking data and determining a gaze location on the display or a gaze vector using the eye tracking data. The method can also include defining a first tile using the gaze location on the display or the gaze vector. The first tile may have a height and a width, the height and width being determined using the eye tracking data. The method can further include defining multiple additional tiles to fill an entire area of the display. The method can also include providing a portion of an image using the first tile at a first image quality and providing another portion of the image at a second image quality using at least one of the multiple additional tiles.

  • Patent number: 10983591
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying a region within a user's eye gaze and calculating a ranking for the identified region within the user's eye gaze. The ranking may indicate the user's level of interest in the identified region. The method may then determine how the identified region is to be presented according to the calculated ranking and present the identified region in the determined manner according to the calculated ranking. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10909405
    Abstract: Systems and methods for virtual interest segmentation may include (1) performing a semantic segmentation of an image of a user's environment, captured by an artificial reality (AR) device being worn by the user, to identify objects within the user's environment, (2) in addition to performing the semantic segmentation, performing an interest segmentation of the image to determine a personal interest that the user may have in a particular object identified via the semantic segmentation, (3) creating virtual content relating to the particular object based on the user's personal interest in the particular object, and (4) displaying the virtual content within a display element of the AR device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10852820
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling gaze-based virtual content control may include (1) displaying an artificial scene with one or more virtual elements to a user wearing a head-mounted display system, (2) identifying the user's eye gaze based on gazing data collected by one or more sensors in the head-mounted display system, (3) determining that the user's eye gaze is focused on a specific virtual element, and (4) in response to determining that the user's eye gaze is focused on the specific virtual element, increasing the specific virtual element's visibility to the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10845874
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may determine that a performance metric of an eye tracking system is below a performance threshold. The eye tracking system may be associated with a head-mounted display worn by a user. In response to the determination that the performance metric is below the performance threshold, the system may identify one or more contents being displayed by the head-mounted display. The system may access one or more properties associated with the one or more contents. The system may predict a vergence distance of the user based at least on the one or more properties associated with the one or more display contents. The system may adjust one or more configurations based on the predicted vergence distance of the user.

  • Patent number: 10831267
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) determining, using an eye-tracking system, an orientation of at least one eye of a user, (ii) identifying, based at least in part on the orientation of the user's eye, a point of interest within a field of view of the user, (iii) determining that the point of interest is a candidate for tagging, and (iv) performing, in response to determining that the point of interest is the candidate for tagging, a tagging action that facilitates tagging of the point of interest. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10627901
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the artificial reality system determines that a performance metric of an eye tracking system is below a first performance threshold. The eye tracking system is associated with a head-mounted display worn by a user. The artificial reality system receives first inputs associated with the body of a user and determines a region that the user is looking at within a field of view of a head-mounted display based on the received first inputs. The system determines a vergence distance of the user based at least on the first inputs associated with the body of the user, the region that the user is looking at, and locations of one or more objects in a scene displayed by the head-mounted display. The system adjusts one or more configurations of the head-mounted display based on the determined vergence distance of the user.
