Nvidia patents eye-tracking that guesses where you look using AI
Nvidia describes a system that uses neural networks to predict where a person is looking. It works by analyzing data from objects that may not be directly visible to the user to estimate their gaze direction.
Why it mattersThis technology could improve how virtual reality headsets or smart displays track user attention without needing expensive cameras on every surface.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to predict gaze of an observer. In at least one embodiment, a network is trained to predict a gaze of one or more users based, at least in part, on one or more gazes corresponding to objects not always visible to the one or more users.
