Nintendo patents eye tracking to enhance gameplay

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments

Back in early March, Nintendo filed a patent in the US for something called “Eye Tracking Enabling 3D Viewing on Conventional 2D Display”. The filing was only just made public today.

This latest patent deals with eye tracking – mainly through 3D glasses – and how it can enhance gameplay.

Here’s the patent abstract:

The exemplary illustrative non-limiting technology herein enables 3D viewing on conventional 2D displays such as home television sets by tracking a person’s viewpoint. Detecting a player’s viewpoint movement to change the viewing of the displayed object gives the illusion that the object is physically present in three-dimensional space. Viewpoint movement detection can provide collision-related game logic benefits such as allowing a player to dodge projectiles, giving a game character an ability to “see” the player when not behind line-of-sight obstacles, and other advantages.

Check out the gallery above for images from the filing. You can find the full patent here and more information here.
