Abstract
A method for determining a current viewing direction of a user of a pair of data glasses having a virtual retina scan display. The method includes at least the method steps: projecting at least substantially parallel infrared laser beams onto an eye of a user of the data glasses, acquiring two-dimensional images from the infrared laser beams reflected back by the eye of the user, and determining pupil contours in the acquired two-dimensional images. The instantaneous viewing direction of the user of the data glasses is ascertained from a comparison of an instantaneous elliptical shape of the pupil contour with an elliptical shape of a reference pupil contour.
