Apple eyeball tracking technology is not imagining

If you can, science and technology dynamics , I hope to kill you with your eyes! Today, this "wish" is coming soon! Recently, a number of new Apple patents have been approved. Among them, eye tracking technology that can control desktop computers or televisions through eyes can be noticed. This new breakthrough in interpersonal interfaces is expected to enable you to realize intelligence through eye movements. Control.


Apple eyeball tracking technology is not imagined

According to reports, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently approved a total of 48 new Apple patents, covering human-machine interfaces and other related fields, especially multi-user interactive interfaces. One of the patents, numbered 9445225, is particularly eye-catching. The patent is entitled "Gaze-In Display Operation." This patent determines the user's gaze direction by receiving the user's eye image, and then finds the computer screen according to the gaze direction. On the corresponding area, and operate on the content within the area.

The outside speculates that Apple will apply eye-tracking new patents to PCs and even Apple’s future TVs. This technology is also expected to become a new selling point for Apple’s new products to attract buyers, further stimulating sales, Apple iMac desktop computer assembly plant Dahai and Hon Hai are expected to benefit.

Apple patented the relevant application documents in the third quarter of 2013, but it was not approved until September of this year. The signature of the patent was an engineer previously acquired by Apple from Israel Prime Sense. It is reported that Apple has applied for similar human-machine interface technology in May this year. At that time, 23 patents were approved, mainly focusing on finger manipulation.

As the most popular technology in the past two years, "eyeball tracking" technology is based on the following changes in the eyeballs and the surrounding features of the eyeballs. Second, tracking is based on changes in the angle of the iris. The third is to actively project infrared rays and other light beams to the iris to extract features.

The main equipment for eye tracking includes infrared equipment and image acquisition equipment. In terms of accuracy, the infrared projection method has a relatively large advantage. It can be accurate to within 1 cm on a 30-inch screen, supplemented by blink recognition, gaze recognition, and other technologies. It can already replace mouse and touch panels to a certain extent. Some limited operations. In addition, other image acquisition devices, such as cameras on a computer or mobile phone, can also achieve eyeball tracking with software support, but there are differences in accuracy, speed, and stability. At present, the carrier of this technology is mainly mobile phones, computers, and automobiles.

The three major eye-tracking carriers <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Samsung and LG have introduced products equipped with eye tracking technology. For example, Samsung’s flagship Samsung Galaxy SIII can control the screen lock time by detecting the user’s eye status. As long as it detects that the user is staring at the screen, the screen will not turn off even if the user does not perform any operation. The release of the Samsung Galaxys III extends this feature further: You can use the eyeball to control the page scrolling up and down.

In addition, LG's Optimus phone also supports the control of video playback through eye movements. As soon as the user diverts the line of sight, the video player automatically pauses until the line of sight returns to the screen.

Computer Swedish company Tobii plans to launch a product that allows old computers to access eye tracking. This device is called Rex, which is a computer peripheral device. Just put it on the top of the screen and connect it through the USB interface. Users can use the line of sight to control the computer to complete some operations, such as manipulating IE page scrolling, using Windows 8 maps. Application etc.

In addition to computers and mobile phones, automobiles are also likely to be the places where people first come into contact with eye-tracking technology. Both GM and Toyota have already invested a lot in this area. It can simulate the driver's field of vision in real time, reminding the driver of the dangers that may exist in the blind spot; when the driver's eyelids droop (difficult) or the number of blink reduction (god) and so on, it will also issue sound alerts.
