Abstract
A wearable computing device includes a frame, a camera mounted on the frame so as to capture images of an environment outside of the wearable computing device, a display device mounted on the frame so as to display the images captured by the camera, and at least one eye gaze tracking device mounted on the frame so as to track a gaze directed at the images displayed by the display device. In response to the detection of a fixation of the gaze on the display of images, the system may identify a pixel area corresponding to a fixation point of the fixation gaze on the display of images. The system may identify an object in the ambient environment corresponding to the identified pixel area, and set the identified object as a selected object for user interaction.
