Abstract
After the introduction of smartphones and smartwatches, AR glasses are considered the next breakthrough in the field of wearables. While the transition from smartphones to smartwatches was based mainly on established display technologies, the display technology of AR glasses presents a technological challenge. Many display technologies, such as retina projectors, are based on continuous adaptive control of the display based on the user's pupil position. Furthermore, head-mounted systems require an adaptation and extension of established interaction concepts to provide the user with an immersive experience. Eye-tracking is a crucial technology to help AR glasses achieve a breakthrough through optimized display technology and gaze-based interaction concepts. Available eye-tracking technologies, such as VOG, do not meet the requirements of AR glasses, especially regarding power consumption, robustness, and integrability. To further overcome these limitations and push mobile eye-tracking for AR glasses forward, novel laser-based eye-tracking sensor technologies are researched in this thesis. The thesis contributes to a significant scientific advancement towards energy-efficient mobile eye-tracking for AR glasses.
