GAZE CALIBRATION VIA MOTION DETECTION FOR EYE-MOUNTED DISPLAYS
First Claim
1. A method for calibrating an alignment of an eye-mounted display relative to a user'"'"'s visual axis, the eye-mounted display comprising an image source, the method implemented on a system and comprising:
- projecting a calibration image from the image source onto the user'"'"'s retina;
detecting a motion of the user'"'"'s eye after projecting the calibration image;
in response to the detected motion of the user'"'"'s eye being smooth pursuit motion, determining a calibration property for the image source based on the detected motion.

Abstract
An eye-mounted display can be calibrated relative to a user'"'"'s gaze. A calibration system causes the eye-mounted display to project a calibration image onto the user'"'"'s retina. The system detects eye movement as the user looks towards the calibration image. Once the detected eye movement indicates that the user'"'"'s gaze is centered gaze on the calibration image, the system determines a calibration parameter representative of the user'"'"'s gaze or the detected eye movement. The calibration parameter can be, for example, a pixel offset relative to an initial image source location or an image source pixel corresponding to the user'"'"'s centered gaze. Subsequent images are then projected by the eye-mounted display onto the user'"'"'s retina based on the calibration parameter.
