Eye tracking is one of the key sensing technologies used in AR/VR headsets and emerging smart-glass platforms. By determining where a user is looking, eye tracking enables gaze-based interaction and supports techniques such as foveated rendering, helping to reduce processing workload and power consumption.
In this video, Markus Zieserl demonstrates the main building blocks of an eye-tracking system for wearable devices. The demo shows how infrared illumination, LED driver electronics, and image sensing work together to illuminate the eye, capture eye images, and estimate gaze direction within the tight size and power constraints of a glasses frame.
Designing eye-tracking systems for smart glasses requires balancing accuracy, latency, power consumption, eye safety, and miniaturization. The video provides a practical look at the hardware technologies that make compact eye-tracking implementations possible.
