How to detect if the user eyes are closed?

My intent is to get a positive bool value when the user eyes are closed, if someone has done this before, any information will be appreciated..

  • Neither the Rift nor Gear VR has any sensor that can give you this information. You would have to make a new device.
  • A library isn't enough, you would need to build a new VR headset or use something other than the rift / gearvr. The CV1 does contain a small sensor inside, but it can only tell proximity to your forehead, it can't see your eyes.

    The FOVE hmd could do it, it has integrated eye tracking.

    Some EEG headbands can read eyelid muscles, but they probably won't fit if you have a VR hmd on.

  • Hello OrenFrtidman,
    To achieve that you will need that kind of hardware: http://www.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/home.html
