Some users of virtual reality and augmented reality applications experience discomfort and dizziness when the virtual and real perceptions do not match. Osram’s new Firefly SFH 4030 and SFH 4060 help to prevent these side effects by enabling eye-tracking solutions providing a targeted point of reference. Eye-tracking systems illuminate the eyes with infrared light and register the reflections with a camera sensor. Software then determines the exact position of the eyes and the viewing direction of the user. The Firefly SFH 4030 and SFH 4060 feature compact dimensions of only 1,0 x 0,325 mm. A black cap makes the two IREDs “invisible” when installed. Users can choose between the 940 nm (SFH 4030) or 850 nm versions (SFH 4060) depending on the target application. The SFH 4060 offers high sensors sensitivity in this wavelength range. The 940 nm version (SFH 4030) avoids the disturbing “red glow” effect, where users see a red light.
