Abstract
In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor, a sensor accessible to the processor, a display accessible to the processor, and memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive first input from the sensor, and based on the first input, identify a location on the display at which a user is looking. The instructions are also executable to receive second input from an input device in communication with the apparatus and, responsive to receipt of the second input and based on the location on the display, execute a function at the apparatus regardless of a location of the input device when the second input was received.
