Eye-controlled Head Mounted Display Prototype Shown At The Fraunhofer IPMS

We follow the Fraunhofer IPMS the "bi-directional OLED screens a couple of years: integrated panels in both a screen and a camera, so while tracking an object and show something. The institute has long promised our head-up display (HUD) ambitions could be satisfied with the technology, and now has a prototype to show us. Will debut at SID Display Week 2011 in May, eye-based miniature OLED tracking HMD (HMD), as its name suggests, can only be controlled by eye movements.

By combining the display and the camera eye-tracking into a single component, the power dimension HMD can be smaller, lighter and less. Rigo Herold, one of the researchers behind the prototype, suggesting that it may be used to demonstrate bio feedback during the exercise, or even play videos, to promote different types of screens or several clips in the library in search of another control in the field of view.

The demonstration model has a monochrome screen with an angle of 32 degrees of vision and brightness of 1,500 cd/m2. Unfortunately all we have so far is this picture of small, but it certainly seems to be ideal for augmented reality applications involving graphics superimposed on a real world view and control a user interface with eye movements.
