Abstract
A method for updating a gaze direction for a transmitter avatar in a receiver headset is provided. The method includes verifying, in a receiver device, that a visual tracking of a transmitter avatar is active in a transmitter device, and adjusting, in the receiver device, a gaze direction of the transmitter avatar to a fixation point. Adjusting the gaze direction of the transmitter avatar comprises estimating a coordinate of the fixation point in a receiver frame at a later time, and rotating, in the receiver device, two eyeballs of the transmitter avatar to a point in a direction of the fixation point. A headset, a memory in the headset storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform the above method, are also provided.
