A fingerprint sensing apparatus with in-sensor fingerprint enrollment and verification. The sensing apparatus includes a fingerprint sensor configured to generate sensor data in response to user contact with a sensing region and a processing system operable in at least a first mode and a second mode. When operating in the first mode, the processing system is configured to detect a fingerprint of the user based on the sensor data. When operating in the second mode, the processing system is configured to process gesture inputs based on the sensor data. In some implementations, while operating in the second mode, the processing system may selectively authenticate the user based on the gesture inputs and enable the user to enroll or manage fingerprints on the sensing apparatus when the user is authenticated.

A method for eye tracking is disclosed. The method may include receiving a first image captured by a first camera based at least in part on reflections of light emitted by a light source. The reflections may be partially occluded by an electronic display disposed in front of the first camera. The method may further include detecting an eye of a user in the partially occluded first image and determining a position or orientation of the eye relative to the electronic display.
