A system for the real-time removal of reflections from an image including a head wearable device, a first illuminator, a second illuminator, at least one camera and a reflection removal processor. The first and the second illuminators are configured to provide light and to operate one at a time alternately. The at least one camera is configured to capture a first image of the eye of the user when the first illuminator is in an ON state and a second image when the second illuminator is in an ON state. The operation of the at least one camera is synchronized with the operation of the first illuminator and the second illuminator. The camera captures images and transfers them to the reflection removal processor that provides real-time removal of reflections by combining the first image and the second image.

Real-time removal of IR LED reflections from an image

A system for detecting and recording head orientations of a person includes: a first sensor device capable of providing sensor data regarding a head orientation of a person in a three-dimensional space; a medical data acquisition system configured for storing and outputting the sensor data from the first sensor device; and a processor configured for processing the sensor data from the medical data acquisition system, outputting a first signal representing the head orientation, and generating an image for presentation by a graphical display; wherein the image comprises: a first reference indicator; an orientation indicator, wherein a position of the orientation indicator in the image is determined based on the first signal from the processor, and a feedback indicator when a first condition is met.

Vestibular testing apparatus

A head mountable device for measuring eye movement includes: a camera system comprising a first camera, wherein the camera system is configured to obtain a first set of images of a first eye of a user with a first frame rate and a first resolution; a processing unit configured to process the obtained first set of images and provide a processing unit output based on the first set of images; and an interface connected to the processing unit, for providing a device output based on the processing unit output; wherein the first frame rate is sufficient to allow the processing unit to detect eye saccades of the first eye.

Head mountable device for measuring eye movement

A goggle based light-weight VOG/EOG system includes at least one digital camera connected to and powered by a laptop computer through a firewire connection. The EOG system is incorporated directly into a goggle base. The digital camera may digitally center the pupil in both the X and Y directions. A calibration mechanism may be incorporated onto the goggle base. The VOG system may track and record 3-D movement of the eye, track pupil dilation, head position and goggle slippage. An animated eye display provides data in a more meaningful fashion. The VOG system is a modular design whereby the same goggle frame or base is used to build a variety of digital camera VOG systems.
