Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product provide feedback to a user of an augmented reality (AR) device having an optical see-through head mounted display (HMD). The apparatus obtains a location on the HMD corresponding to a user interaction with an object displayed on the HMD. The object may be an icon on the HMD and the user interaction may be an attempt by the user to select the icon through an eye gaze or gesture. The apparatus determines whether a spatial relationship between the location of user interaction and the object satisfies a criterion, and outputs a sensory indication, e.g., visual display, sound, vibration, when the criterion is satisfied. The apparatus may be configured to output a sensory indication when user interaction is successful, e.g., the icon was selected. Alternatively, the apparatus may be configured to output a sensory indication when the user interaction fails.
