Abstract

Techniques disclosed herein combine computer vision with eye tracking by identifying, via computer vision, safety hazards in a video captured by a camera mounted on a pair of safety glasses, and generating an alert if a user wearing the safety glasses has not (recently) noticed the hazard. Whether the user has noticed the hazard is determined based on eye tracking information extracted from a video captured by another camera that is mounted on the safety glasses and points toward the user. As a result, safety hazards may be automatically detected and reported to the user. In addition, only those hazards that have not been (recently) noticed by the user cause an alert to be generated, so the user is not distracted with unnecessary notifications.
