Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for a waveguide system may be used to support eye tracking in a head mounted display (HMD). The waveguide system may be positioned in a user's field of view and within a lens assembly of the HMD to capture light that is reflected from an eye. The waveguide system may include a waveguide, a first diffraction grating, and a second diffraction grating. The first diffraction grating may be configured to in-couple light of a first wavelength into the waveguide, and the second diffraction grating may be configured to in-couple light of a second wavelength. The first and second diffraction gratings operate together to detect light reflections from an eyebox region.
