Abstract

An improved eye tracker system and methods for detecting eye parameters including eye movement using a pupil center, pupil diameter (i.e., dilation), blink duration, and blink frequency, which may be used to determine a variety of physiological and psychological conditions. The eye tracker system and methods operates at a ten-fold reduction in power usage as compared to current system and methods. Furthermore, eye tracker system and methods allows for a more optimal use in variable light situations such as in the outdoors and does not require active calibration by the user.
