Abstract

We proposed a wearable line-of-sight detection system that utilizes micro-fabricated transparent optical sensors on eyeglasses. These sensors can detect the reflection of light from the eye, in which the intensity from the white of the eye is stronger than that of the pupil, and can thus deduce the position of the pupil. LOS detection was successfully demonstrated by using the proposed system, but careful calibration was required for each user. Therefore, in the current study, we investigated the dominant factors that affected the LOS detection accuracy. It was experimentally found that the distance between the sensors on the eyeglasses and the pupil was a dominant factor. Thus, we designed a frame that can be adjusted according to this distance, which enabled LOS detection for all subjects.
