Contact Lens with Moiré Patterns for High‐Precision Eye Tracking
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a passive contact lens for high‐precision eye tracking, integrating a microscopic moiré grating label. The parallax‐induced shift of macroscopic moiré patterns enables angle measurement with 0.28° precision using a standard camera under ambient light.
