Abstract
An eye-tracking system (e.g., a virtual reality or augmented realty headset) can be used for eye tracking and for iris recognition. Illuminators used to illuminate eyes of a user during eye tracking can be selectively powered on and off in connection with capturing image information in order to obtain image information that suitably depicts an iris region of an eye of the user. This image information can be used to recognize the iris region and by so doing authenticate and/or identify the user.
