Abstract
A gaze tracking system comprising a pupil detection unit operable to detect the location of a pupil in one or more images captured of one or both a user's eyes, a confidence value determination unit operable to determine a confidence value in dependence upon the identified pupil position, the confidence value indicating an expected reliability of the detection of the pupil location, and a processing unit operable to generate, in dependence upon the determined confidence value, one or more outputs to cause the user to modify their pupil location to a location with a higher determined confidence value.
