Abstract
Systems and methods for selectively augmenting an electronic media file with additional content responsive to the user viewing portions of the electronic media file are provided. The system includes a computing device with a display for playing an electronic media file that includes portions that are augmentable with additional content. The system also includes a camera and image processing software to track the focus of the user's eyes on the display while looking at the electronic media file. The system can determine whether the focus of user eyes corresponds to an augmentable portion of the electronic media file and augment the electronic media file by playing additional content to the user, and then continue playing the electronic media file.
