Measurement method and system
Methods and systems for determining an individual gaze value are disclosed herein. An exemplary method involves: (a) receiving gaze data for a first wearable computing device, wherein the gaze data is indicative of a wearer-view associated with the first wearable computing device, and wherein the first wearable computing device is associated with a first user-account; (b) analyzing the gaze data from the first wearable computing device to detect one or more occurrences of one or more advertisement spaces in the gaze data; (c) based at least in part on the one or more detected advertisement-space occurrences, determining an individual gaze value for the first user-account; and (d) sending a gaze-value indication, wherein the gaze-value indication indicates the individual gaze value for the first user-account.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based at least in part on the focus value, a display value corresponding to an overlay of augmented-reality content on the real-world surface.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
determining a user-account associated with the real-world surface; and
initiating a transmission of an electronic message to a second computing device corresponding to the user-account that is associated with the real-world surface, the electronic message indicating the display value corresponding to the real-world surface.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the electronic message comprises a listing-suggestion message indicating on opportunity to list the real-world surface in a listing database for augmented-display rights to real-world surfaces.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving a listing-suggestion request associated with the user-account, wherein the listing-suggestion request indicates an instruction to opt in to a service that provides suggestions of real-world surfaces usable for the overlay of the augmented-reality content.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising detecting, in response to receipt of the listing-suggestion request, one or more occurrences of the real-world surface in the image data.
9. The method of claim 4 , wherein determining the display value comprises:
generating, using the point-of-view image data, wearer-view data for a real-world object; and
determining, using the wearer-view data for the real-world object, a value corresponding to the overlay of the augmented-reality content on the real-world surface.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-world surface is located on at least one of a non-display surface of a laptop computer an article of clothing, an automobile, or a building.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the focus value is inversely proportional to an amount of movement of the gaze-location with respect to the real-world surface.
12. A system comprising:
at least one communication interface operable to communicate with one or more computing devices;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view (POV) image data received from the wearable device;
determining, by the at least one processor, a location of the real-world surface;
determining a gaze-location of a user associated with the wearable device;
determining, based on the location of the real-world surface and the gaze-location of the user, a proximity of the gaze-location to the real-world surface; and
determining, based at least in part on the proximity, a focus value for the real-world surface, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by the user to the real-world surface.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein when determining the location of the real-world surface the operations further comprise determining coordinates of the real-world surface within the image data.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein when determining the proximity of the gaze-location to the real-world surface the operations further comprise comparing the coordinates of the real-world surface to coordinates of a center of the image data.
15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise determining, based at least in part on the focus value, a display value corresponding to overlay of content on the real-world surface.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
determining a user-account associated with the real-world surface; and
initiating a transmission of an electronic message to a second computing device corresponding to the user-account that is associated with the real-world surface, the electronic message indicating the display value corresponding to the real-world surface.
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view (POV) image data received from the wearable device;
determining, by the at least one processor, a location of the real-world surface; determining a gaze-location of a user associated with the wearable device;
determining, based on the location of the real-world surface and the gaze-location of the user, a proximity of the gaze-location to the real-world surface; and
determining, based at least in part on the proximity, a focus value for the real-world surface, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by the user to the real-world surface.
