Abstract
Systems and methods disclosed herein are related to an intelligent UI element selection system using eye-gaze technology. In some example aspects, a UI element selection zone may be determined. The selection zone may be defined as an area surrounding a boundary of the UI element. Gaze input may be received and the gaze input may be compared with the selection zone to determine an intent of the user. The gaze input may comprise one or more gaze locations. Each gaze location may be assigned a value according to its proximity to the UI element and/or its relation to the UI element's selection zone. Each UI element may be assigned a threshold. If the aggregated value of gaze input is equal to or greater than the threshold for the UI element, then the UI element may be selected.
