[sci.virtual-worlds] Eye tracking

hucaby@ms.uky.edu (Dave Hucaby) (05/30/90)

Just got a brochure about an eyeball tracking device a few weeks ago,
but can't find any pricing info. It's called the Evil Eye, and uses
a standard RS-170 video camera that looks at the eyeball. The eye is
illuminated with infrared light, and the image of the eye is reflected
to the helmet-mounted camera by an angled glass mounted in front of
the wearer's eye. Some other hardware calculates and tracks the center
of the wearer's pupil and a reflection off the cornea.

I have no connection with ISCAN nor have I seen or used their product.
Hope this might be useful for you aspiring VR-ers.

Thanks!
