title: Robust intraocular acquisition of the accommodation demand using eyeball movements.
abstract: The Artificial Accommodation System is a mechatronic lens implant that will restore the ability of the human eye to accommodate. Therefore, the accommodation demand has to be acquired. One possibility is to measure the vergence angle of the eyeballs in reference to an external field. Using the earth magnetic field as reference the proof of this measuring principle was possible. Still there are drawbacks like high responsivity to interferences and limitations of the measuring range. The new approach is to use the gravity field as reference and thus reduce the responsivity to interferences. The measuring range can be expanded by combining both sensing principles.
