Abstract
Example methods and systems determine a position of a portion of a human eye based on electromagnetic radiation reflected from the surface of the human eye. A sensor associated with a computing device can be calibrated in response to an event. The computing device can receive data indicative of electromagnetic radiation reflected from a human eye. The computing device can determine a position of a portion of the human eye based on the received data indicative of electromagnetic radiation. The computing device can generate an indication including the position of the portion of the human eye. The computing device can transmit the indication from the computing device. In some embodiments, the data indicative of electromagnetic information can be provided by electromagnetic emitter/sensors mounted on a wearable computing device directed toward a human eye of a wearer of the wearable computing device.
