Abstract

Systems and methods allow a user to interact with an augmented reality device. In one implementation, a wearable device for providing a virtual menu to a user includes a display; at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a viewing direction the user; and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device is configured to cause a virtual menu to be shown on the display; monitor a viewing direction of the user based on the output of the at least one sensor; determine, based on the monitored viewing direction, whether the user is looking in a direction of a selectable element of the virtual menu; determine an amount of time that the user looks in the direction of the selectable element; and cause at least one action associated with the selectable element if the amount of time exceeds a predetermined dwell time threshold.
