Such measurements are most frequently obtained by different devices, most of them requiring steady eye and body positions and controlled lighting conditions. Recent advances in smart contact lens (SCL) technology have demonstrated the ability to achieve highly reliable and accurate measurements, preserving user mobility, for instance in measuring gaze direction. In this paper, we discuss how these three key functions can be implemented and combined in the same SCL, considering the limited volume and energy consumption constraints. Some technical options are discussed and compared in terms of their ability to be implemented, taking advantage of recent developments in the field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22186731","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]],"date-time":"2022-09-08T04:18:32Z","timestamp":1662610712000},"page":"6731","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Design of a Multimodal Oculometric Sensor Contact Lens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jean-Louis","family":"de Bougrenet de la Tocnaye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Optics Department, Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com Atlantique, Technop\u00f4le Brest Iroise, CS 83818, CEDEX 03, 29238 Brest, Brittany, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1949-2207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Nourrit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Optics Department, Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com Atlantique, Technop\u00f4le Brest Iroise, CS 83818, CEDEX 03, 29238 Brest, Brittany, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1316-5504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cyril","family":"Lahuec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Optics Department, Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com Atlantique, Technop\u00f4le Brest Iroise, CS 83818, CEDEX 03, 29238 Brest, Brittany, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire des Sciences et Techniques de l\u2019Information, de la Communication et de la Connaissance, CNRS UMR 6285, 29238 Brest, Brittany, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Gambira\u017ea, M., Kesed\u017ei\u0107, I., \u0160arlija, M., Popovi\u0107, S., and \u0106osi\u0107, K.
