Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for an imaging system that may be used to support eye tracking in a head mounted display. The imaging system may include an image sensor positioned in a user's field of view and within a lens assembly to capture light that is reflected from an eye. The imaging system may include two optical elements that are configured to at least partially direct scene light around the image sensor to conceal the image sensor from the user's eye. The image sensor is positioned between the two optical elements within the lens assembly.
