Abstract

A device includes a camera assembly and a controller. The camera assembly is configured to capture images of both eyes of a user. Using the captured images, the controller determines a location for each pupil of each eye of the user. The determined pupil locations and captured images are used to determine eye tracking parameters which are used to compute values of eye tracking functions. With the computed values and a model that maps the eye tracking functions to gaze depths, a gaze depth of the user is determined. An action is performed based on the determined gaze depth.
