Methods and systems of extended reality environment interaction based on eye motions
Systems and methods are described for extended reality environment interaction. An extended reality environment including an object is generated for display, and an eye motion is detected. Based on the detecting, it is determined whether the object is in a field of view for at least a predetermined period of time, and in response to determining that the object is in the field of view for at least the predetermined period of time, one or more items related to the object are generated for display in the extended virtual reality environment.
1. A method for extended reality environment interaction, comprising:
generating for display an extended reality environment including an object;
detecting an eye motion of a user;
determining, based on the detecting, whether the object is in a field of view of the user for at least a first predetermined period of time;
in response to determining that the object is in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time, generating for display in the extended reality environment one or more items related to the object;
determining that at least a second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user; and
ceasing display of the one or more items related to the object in response to determining that the second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more items related to the object comprise textual information, one or more images, video, or any combination thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
determining that at least the second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user further comprises determining that the object has not been in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time; and
ceasing the display of the one or more items related to the object in response to determining that the second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user is performed further in response to determining that the object has not been in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the eye motion comprises monitoring an eyelid motion.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
generating for display in the extended reality environment the one or more items related to the object is performed in response to determining that the object is in the field of view of the user, and in a gaze of the user, for at least the first predetermined period of time.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, based on the detecting, whether the object is in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time comprises determining that the object is continuously in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time during an extended reality session.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, based on the detecting, whether the object is in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time comprises determining that the object is non-continuously in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time during an extended reality session.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a new object is in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined time; and
in response to determining that the new object is in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time, generating for display in the extended reality environment one or more items related to the new object, while continuing to generate for display in the extended reality environment the one or more items related to the object.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
permitting modification of an amount of time for the first predetermined period of time.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the extended reality environment is presented via an extended reality head-mounted device.
11. A system for extended reality environment interaction, comprising:
a display;
control circuitry configured to:
generate for display an extended reality environment including an object, wherein the object is presented at the display;
detect an eye motion of a user;
determine, based on the detecting, whether the object is in a field of view of the user for at least a first predetermined period of time;
in response to determining that the object is in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time, generate for display in the extended reality environment one or more items related to the object;
determine that at least a second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user; and
cease display of the one or more items related to the object in response to determining that the second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more items related to the object comprise textual information, one or more images, video, or any combination thereof.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine that at least the second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user by determining that the object has not been in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time; and
cease the display of the one or more items related to the object in response to determining that the second predetermined period of time has elapsed from commencing the display of the one or more items related to the object without the object being in the field of view of the user and further in response to determining that the object has not been in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, in detecting the eye motion, monitor an eyelid motion.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for display in the extended reality environment the one or more items related to the object in response to determining that the object is in the field of view of the user, and in a gaze of the user, for at least the first predetermined period of time.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, in determining whether the object is in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time, determine that the object is continuously in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time during an extended reality session.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, in determining whether the object is in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time, determine that the object is non-continuously in the field of view of the user for the first predetermined period of time during an extended reality session.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine a new object is in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined time; and
in response to determining that the new object is in the field of view of the user for at least the first predetermined period of time, generate for display in the extended reality environment one or more items related to the new object, while continuing to generate for display in the extended reality environment the one or more items related to the object.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
permitting modification of an amount of time for the first predetermined period of time.
20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the extended reality environment is presented via an extended reality head-mounted device.
