  • Publication number: 20260086709
    Abstract: According to at least one implementation, a method includes identifying a gaze associated with a user of a device and identifying a first state of a gesture from the user. The method further includes causing display of a cursor over a first portion of content on a display of the device based on the gaze and the first state of the gesture. The method also includes identifying a second state of the gesture from the user and causing display of the cursor over a second portion of the content on the display based on the gaze and the second state of the gesture, the second portion being different than the first portion.

  • Patent number: 12455632
    Abstract: Computing systems and computer-implemented methods are provided. In one aspect, the computer-implemented method includes detecting, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a user gesture from a user of the computing system. The computer-implemented method includes, responsive to detecting the user gesture, obtaining, by the computing system, data associated with one or more points of interest (POIs) proximate to a physical location of the user. The computer-implemented method includes determining, by the computing system, the user gesture is directed to a particular POI of the one or more POIs. The computer-implemented method includes providing, by the computing system, data associated with the particular POI for display to the user.

  • Publication number: 20250244828
    Abstract: A display device may receive eye tracking data. A display device may detect an eye gaze intent state based on the eye tracking data. A display device may receive an input device signal of an input device. A display device may determine to switch from a first input modality to a second input modality based on at least one of the eye gaze intent state or the input device signal. A display device may move a position indicator on a display of the display device using at least one of the first input modality or the second input modality.
