Abstract
In one implementation, a method is performed for selecting a UI element with eye tracking-based attention accumulators. The method includes: while a first UI element is currently selected, detecting a gaze direction directed to a second UI element; in response to detecting the gaze direction directed to the second UI element, decreasing a first attention accumulator value associated with the first UI element and increasing a second attention accumulator value associated with the second UI element; in accordance with a determination that the second attention accumulator value exceeds the first attention accumulator value, deselecting the first UI element and selecting the second UI element; and in accordance with a determination that the second attention accumulator value does not exceed the first attention accumulator value, maintaining selection of the first UI element.
