A dynamic status related to the manipulation on the object is generated with respect to reference data related the object. A survey of components associated with the three-dimensional model of the object is generated.

Abstract: Eye fatigue from looking too long at a computer monitor can not only causes physical symptoms, it can also reduce productivity. Eye tracking is used to determine potential eye fatigue. After potential eye fatigue is determined, an eye fatigue mitigation action is triggered. Eye fatigue mitigation action can including providing a notification, blurring a screen, and blanking a screen. Eye tracking can also be used to verify that a user has taken an eye fatigue mitigation action, such as diverted looking from a screen for a sufficient amount of time. By implementing eye fatigue mitigation actions, symptoms can be reduced and/or productivity increased.
