Abstract: A tracking system uses one or more light sources to direct light toward one or more of a user's eyes. A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) operably coupled to a processor is configured to view the user's eyes. The DVS has an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration. The DVS outputs signals corresponding to events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light from the light sources reflecting from a portion of the user's eyes. The output signals include information corresponding to locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array. The processor determines an association between each event and a corresponding particular light source and fits an orientation of the user's eyes using the determined association, the relative location of the light sources with respect to the user's eyes and the locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array.

Abstract: Techniques for simulating fast eye movement of a robot to mimic human eye saccade are divulged in cases of the robot eyes being moved by actuators that cannot move the eyes fast enough in real time to mimic saccade. Image capture timing is adjusted (i.e., slowed down) to track the speed of the actuators. Then, the resulting sequence of images is time-compressed back to video playback speed so that the video appears to show the robot eye undergoing saccade at human eye speeds.

Abstract: A tracking system uses a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) operably coupled to the processor. The DVS has an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration. The DVS outputs signals corresponding to two or more events at two or more corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light output from two or more light sources mounted in a known configuration with respect to each other and with respect to a controller. The output signals indicate times of the events and locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements. The processor determines an association between each event and two or more corresponding light sources and fits a position and orientation of the controller using the determined association, the known configuration of the light sources and the locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array.

Abstract: A DVS has an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration and outputs signals corresponding to events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light output from two or more light sources in a known configuration with respect to each other and with respect to a controller body. The signals indicate times of the events and array locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements. Filters selectively transmit light from the light sources to light-sensitive elements in the array and selectively block other light from reaching those elements and vice versa. A processor determines a position and orientation of the controller from times of the events, array locations of corresponding light-sensitive elements, and the known light source configuration and determines a position and orientation of one or more objects from signals generated by two or more light-sensitive elements resulting from other light.
