Abstract
Methods to trigger eye enrollment without requiring good gaze interaction are described that allow a guest user of a device to initiate partial or full eye enrollment even though their eye model is not known and thus conventional gaze-based interactions do not work well. A gaze tracking system collects gaze data in the background. At any time (or within an interval after a user puts on the device), an eye enrollment can be triggered by detecting some gaze gesture, for example rolling the eyes in a large circle, or moving the eyes randomly for a time that exceeds a threshold. Depending on the coverage of the gaze/cornea data collected in the background, a full eye enrollment or only a visual axis enrollment may be performed in response to the gesture.
