Abstract

Embodiments are related to a plurality of gaze sensors embedded into a frame of a headset for detection of a gaze vector of a user wearing the headset and user's control at the headset. The gaze vector for an eye of the user can be within a threshold distance from one of the gaze sensors. By monitoring signals detected by the gaze sensors, it can be determined that the gaze vector is within the threshold distance from the gaze sensor. Based on this determination, at least one action associated with the headset is initiated.
