Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing gaze-based sound selection are described herein. A system for gaze-based sound selection, the system includes a gaze detection circuit to determine a gaze direction of a user, the gaze direction being toward an object; an audio capture mechanism to obtain audio data from the object, the audio capture mechanism selectively configured based on the gaze direction; an audio transformation circuit to transform the audio data to an output data; and a presentation mechanism to present the output data to the user.

Abstract: A selective display system may include a display controller circuit that receives image data that includes images of a scene that contains one or more objects. The selective display system autonomously identifies the objects contained in the scene. The selective display system compares the identified objects against an inventory to determine whether the identified object is represented in the inventory. The selective display system provides an output of the scene in which the identified objects represented in the inventory are presented in a first, unobscured, format and identified objects not represented in the inventory is presented in a second, obscured, format.
