Russian engineers have created a mobile device for tracking gaze

Engineers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have created a mobile device that can track human eye movements. Combined with a neuro-headset, it will allow paralyzed people to control the elements of a smart home or neurocarriage.

The main task of the tracker is to track the direction of your gaze, fixing its delay and duration. The device called EyeRay has a small size - in shape it resembles a frame from glasses.

Three cameras are built into EyeRay - the front camera captures objects and objects that a person is looking at, and the other two capture the look of his left and right eyes.

12 infrared LEDs are built into the frame, according to the reflection geometry of which special algorithms calculate the direction of view.

Earlier, engineers from the Institute of MISiS created a neuro headset that will allow patients who have suffered a stroke or a severe head injury and lost their motor or speech functions, control a smart home and communicate with others.
