Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for input control display based on eye gaze. An apparatus includes an eye-tracking device, an input device, a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable to track an eye gaze of a user in relation to a display using the eye-tracking device, determine one or more interface controls presented on the display that are within an area of the user's eye gaze, and dynamically map the determined one or more interface controls to one or more corresponding input controls on the input device such that actuation of an input control on the input device activates the corresponding interface control presented on the display.
