Eccentric Incident Luminance Pupil Tracking

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an electronic assembly includes a flexible circuit board formed into a curved shape that is configured to be substantially concentric with a viewer's eye. The electronic assembly further includes a plurality of facets coupled to a side of curved shape of the flexible circuit board that is configured to face the viewer's eye. Each facet has a planar face, one or more emitters configured to emit light towards the viewer's eye, and one or more receptors configured to detect the emitted light after it has been reflected back towards the electronic assembly from a retina of the viewer's eye. Each face is normal to a line pointing towards a center area of the viewer's eye when the curved shape is substantially concentric with the viewer's eye. Each facet is individually addressable such that the plurality of facets are configurable to detect a center of gaze of the viewer.
