Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method for a mobile, low-cost headset for 3D point of gaze estimation. A point of gaze apparatus may include an eye tracking camera configured to track the movements of a user's eye and a scene camera configured to create a three-dimensional image and a two-dimensional image in the direction of the user's gaze. The point of gaze apparatus may include an image processing module configured to identify a point of gaze of the user and identify an object located at the user's point of gaze by using information from the eye tracking camera and the scene camera.
