Abstract
An Optical Head Mounted Display (OHMD) and a method therein for controlling a Graphical User Interface (GUI) as well as a television portal module and a method therein for enabling the OHMD to control the GUI displayed by the television portal module. The television portal module displays a GUI element for enabling the OHMD to enter into a mode for controlling the GUI. The OHMD displays, at a display of the OHMD, a sight element for aiming, by the user, at the GUI element. The OHMD enters into a mode for controlling the GUI, when detecting that the sight element is aimed at the GUI element by means of detecting a movement of a head of a user or an eye of a user. The television portal module receives, from the OHMD, a command for controlling the GUI. Corresponding computer programs and computer program products are also disclosed.
