Abstract

A system and method for eye monitoring using the natural reflections of the lenses and human eyes. The system includes a frame worn on the head of a user containing side supports and lenses. A light source and a camera are mounted on the side supports, so that they are located behind the eyes of the user, when the system is being worn by the user. The camera captures the natural light reflections from the lenses and the eye retinas, and uses the data to calculate a position or orientation of a user gaze.
