Abstract
One example provides a computing device comprising instructions executable to receive information regarding one or more entities in the scene, to receive eye tracking a plurality of eye tracking samples, each eye tracking sample corresponding to a gaze direction of a user and, based at least on the eye tracking samples, determine a time-dependent attention value for each entity of the one or more entities at different locations in a use environment, the time-dependent attention value determined using a leaky integrator. The instructions are further executable to receive a user input indicating an intent to perform a location-dependent action, associate the user input to with a selected entity based at least upon the time-dependent attention value for each entity, and perform the location-dependent action based at least upon a location of the selected entity.
