11. An attention monitoring system coupled to a near-to-eye display system which senses a position and orientation of a near-to-eye display device and generates focus data corresponding to a direction of gaze of a vehicle operator in response to the position and the orientation of the near-to-eye display device, the vehicle monitoring system comprising:
-
a plurality of alerting devices for providing sensible alerts to the vehicle operator; and a controller coupled to the near-to-eye display system for receiving the focus data therefrom and coupled to the plurality of alerting devices and providing an alert signal to a selected one of the plurality of alerting devices in response to the focus data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
