Publication number: 20220147141Abstract: A method for mapping an input device to a virtual object in virtual space displayed on a display device is disclosed. The method may include determining, via an eye tracking device, a gaze direction of a user. The method may also include, based at least in part on the gaze direction being directed to a virtual object in virtual space displayed on a display device, modifying an action to be taken by one or more processors in response to receiving a first input from an input device. The method may further include, thereafter, in response to receiving the input from the input device, causing the action to occur, wherein the action correlates the first input to an interaction with the virtual object.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2021Publication date: May 12, 2022Applicant: Tobii ABInventors: Simon Gustafsson, Alexey Bezugly, Anders Kingback, Anders Clausen
