Eye gaze direction indicator

This invention describes a system that tracks where a user is looking in their real-world environment. It then adds a computer-generated marker, like a dot or crosshair, directly into the user's view to show them their exact gaze direction. The most specific version described involves displaying this marker on a transparent screen, such as smart glasses worn by the user.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread consumer-grade AR glasses with integrated eye tracking were common. Modern wearable AR devices now combine the necessary display and sensing capabilities.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedEye tracking hardware, AR display, real-time software
