Image manipulation based on tracked eye movement
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining a data point of a tracked eye gaze of a displayed three-dimensional image of an object in a viewing area, the data point representing a detected location of the tracked eye gaze within the viewing area, the data point obtained at a predetermined sampling interval;
mapping identified eye attentiveness points to a plurality of surface regions of the displayed three-dimensional image; and
rotating the displayed three-dimensional image based on the identified eye attentiveness points such that the region of the displayed three-dimensional image corresponding to a high degree of eye attentiveness is centered within the displayed three-dimensional image of the object.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to controlling and manipulating an image of an object on a display device based on tracked eye movements of an observer. When the object is displayed according to an initial view, the observer'"'"'s eye movement is tracked and processed in order to determine the focus of the observer'"'"'s attention or gaze on the image. Thereafter, the displayed image is modified to provide a better view of the part of the object in which the observer is most interested. This is accomplished by modifying at least one of the spatial positioning of the object within the viewing area, the angle of view of the object, and the viewing direction of the object.

5. A method, comprising:
-
obtaining a set of data points of a tracked eye gaze of a displayed image of an object in a viewing area, the set of data points representing a detected location of the tracked eye gaze within the viewing area, the set of data points obtained at a predetermined sampling interval; analyzing the set of data points to identify a region of the displayed image corresponding to a high degree of eye attentiveness based on the tracked eye gaze; and rotating the displayed image such that the region of the displayed image corresponding to the high degree of eye attentiveness is centered within the displayed image of the object. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method, comprising:
-
obtaining a set of data points of a tracked eye gaze of a displayed three-dimensional image of an object in a viewing area, the set of data points representing a detected location of the tracked eye gaze within the viewing area, the set of data points obtained at a predetermined sampling interval; identifying eye attentiveness points on a surface of the displayed three-dimensional image by applying an unprojection process to translate the set of data points to a three dimensional space to define a surface of the object; and rotating the displayed three-dimensional image based on the identified eye attentiveness points such that the region of the displayed three-dimensional image corresponding to a high degree of eye attentiveness is centered within the displayed three-dimensional image of the object. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computing device having one or more computer processors that store executable instructions, operably connected to a display device, that in response to being executed cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining a set of data points of a tracked eye gaze of a displayed image of an object in a viewing area, the set of data points representing a detected location of the tracked eye gaze within the viewing area, the set of data points obtained at a predetermined sampling interval; analyzing the set of data points to identify a region of the displayed image corresponding to a high degree of eye attentiveness based on the tracked eye gaze; and rotating the displayed image such that the region of the displayed image corresponding to the high degree of eye attentiveness is centered within the displayed image of the object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
