Abstract
Techniques and systems for identifying objects using gaze tracking techniques are described. A computing system may determine or infer that an individual is requesting to identify an object that is unknown to the individual based at least partly on images of the individual, images of a scene including the object, or both. In some cases, images of the individual may be used to determine a gaze path of the individual and the unknown object may be within the gaze path of the individual. Additionally, a computing system may send a request to identify the object to at least one individual. One or more of the responses received from the at least one individual may be provided in order to identify the object.
