Abstract

Presented in the present disclosure are system and methods embodiments that allow a user to wear a contact lens that provide a virtual framework for the user to retrieve information from one or more remote cameras and implement remote camera control via eye movement tracked by one or more motion sensors embedded within the contact lens. The remote camera control may include, but not limited to, pan, tilt, and zoom control. A user may activate projection of content captured from a remote camera and control the remote camera via an established communication link. The communication link may be a direct link or indirect link via one or more intermediate devices, e.g., a server and/or an accessory device. This unique way of projection activation and camera control by tracking eye movement provides a convenient and secure way for remote camera control without involvement of hands or voices.
