Abstract
A system enables a user to query based on a user's gaze by receiving a query from the user and capturing, via an eye tracking system on a headset, the user's gaze location near an object in a local area. The system captures one or more images of the local area with the object and formats the images based in part on a region of interest in the one or more images that includes the object. The system generates a formatted query based in part on the query. The formatted query is provided to a search engine. Information describing the object determined from the one or more formatted images and information describing the query are used by the search engine to determine an answer to the query about the object. The system presents the answer to the query about the object.
