Abstract
Eye tracking system for use in a visible light display device incorporates and/or use one or more silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensor and an infrared module of a microelectromechanical (MEMs)-based scanner. The infrared module emits a beam of photons, where at least some of the photons are directed towards a user's eye while the eye tracking system is being used. The SiPM sensor(s) capture a reflection that emanates off of the user's eye.
