Abstract
An eye-tracking system may include a light source to emit infrared (IR) light. A waveguide may include an input coupler. A scanner may be to direct the infrared (IR) light to the input coupler, which may be configured to direct the infrared (IR) light to exit the waveguide toward an eyebox region for eye-tracking. The scanner may be to direct visible light to the input coupler. The input coupler may be to direct the visible light toward the eyebox region for display as a virtual image. A sensor may be to generate an imaging signal when infrared (IR) light impinges upon the sensor via the scanner and the input coupler.
