Abstract
In accordance with some implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, an image sensor, and a positional sensor. The method includes capturing image data of an eye using the image sensor. The method includes, while the electronic device is in a first position, determining a gaze vector based on the image data. The method includes detecting, based on positional sensor data from the positional sensor, a positional change of the electronic device from the first position to a second position. The method includes, in response to detecting the positional change, updating the gaze vector based on the positional sensor data. In some implementations, updating the gaze vector includes repositioning the gaze vector. In some implementations, updating the gaze vector includes increasing a targeting tolerance associated with the gaze vector.
