Abstract
An eye tracking technique obtains a more precise estimate of a gaze location on an image by determining the vergence location of a user's eyes. The more precise estimate of the gaze location may be obtained by using multiple inputs, including a coarse estimate of the gaze location using a camera that receives non-visible light reflected from the eyes, discrete probabilities of gaze locations for each eye, depth information for objects contained in the image, and saliency information for objects contained in the image.
