Abstract
In virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), eye tracking may be performed to determine the user's gaze direction. The gaze direction may be used to enhance user interaction. However, when a user gazes in a particular direction, it could sometimes be the case that there are multiple items located in that gaze direction, each at a different depth. The gaze of direction alone might not be indicative of the item at which the user is looking. Therefore, in some embodiments, to try to further enhance user interaction, a gaze depth of the gaze may be determined. Some embodiments are directed to performing eye tracking to detect a gaze depth of a human's gaze and modifying a user interface (UI) responsive to a change in the gaze depth.
