Abstract
A gaze detection system includes a head mounted display and a gaze detection device detecting the gaze of the user. The head mounted display illuminate users eyes with infrared light, displays three-dimensional image comprising a plurality of layers in the depth direction and captures an image of user's eye illuminated by the infrared light. The gaze detection device detects the user's right eye's gaze direction (vector) and left eye's gaze direction (vector) with use of the captured images. The gaze detection device identifies the layer that the user is gazing at by selecting the layer having the shortest distance between the intersection points of the right eye gaze vector and the left eye gaze vector with each layer as a gaze point in the depth direction.
