Abstract
Systems and methods are related to tracking an attention of a user with respect to content presented on a virtual screen, detecting a defocus event associated with a first region of the content, and determining a next focus event associated with a second region of the content. The determination can be based at least in part on the defocus event and on the tracked attention of the user. The systems and methods can include generating, based on the determined next focus event, a marker for differentiating the second region of the content from a remainder of the content, and in response to detecting a refocus event associated with the virtual screen, triggering execution of the marker associated with the second region of the content.
