Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the effectiveness of a scleral contact lens with near-infrared lasers (CLP) in enhancing video-based eye tracking performance in various lighting conditions, especially outdoors.
- - CLP demonstrated tracking accuracy of better than 1° under challenging lighting, while a commercial eye tracker (Pupil Core) performed excellently indoors but substantially poorly outdoors.
- - The results suggest that CLP could significantly boost the reliability of eye tracking systems in outdoor environments by offering easily detectable features.
In this paper we present an infrared laser pointer, consisting of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and a diffractive optical element (DOE), encapsulated into a scleral contact lens (SCL). The VCSEL is powered remotely by inductive coupling from a primary antenna embedded into an eyewear frame. The DOE is used either to collimate the laser beam or to project a pattern image at a chosen distance in front of the eye.

We describe the operating principle, the manufacturing process and characterize the impact of the VCSELs encapsulation on their optical properties. We then describe how such device can be incorporated into an eye-wear or a visual augmented system.
