Sensory flux from the eye: Biological sensing-of-sensing (veillametrics) for 3D augmented-reality environments

We measure and visualize the ability-to-see, from the human eye, as that ability-to-see propagates through space. "Biological veillance flux" is a metric of sensory precision emitted from the eyes and falling on objects, with much greater detail than merely tracking the center of the eye´s field of view. This work makes it possible to "see sight" and "measure sight" as the "sight" travels through three-dimensional space. In earlier work we measured veillance flux from electronic sensors and cameras. Now, we examine biological veillance flux. The result is a method to detect radiation of information-bearing optical sensitivity, as opposed to radiation of ordinary light energy in the opposite direction. These measurements can be used as an augmented-reality visualization of human sight. They can serve as an interactive score tracking how much a target is seen. Additionally, they could serve as a data-rich metric of visual precision directed by human eyes toward control panels in industrial applications, or as a metric of visual precision directed by human eyes towards printed material or digital media, for advertising, arts or entertainment applications. Extramissive optics, as a new field of research, is thus expanded into the biological realm.
