Abstract
An eye tracking system tracks a position and an orientation of one or more eyes of a user of the eye tracking system and determines a gaze point of the user based on the position and the orientation of the user's eye(s). An audio system coupled to the eye tracking system then detects a sound in an environment of the user. A change in the gaze point of the user is detected at the eye tracking system. Based on the change in the gaze point, a determination is made as to whether the user's attention has shifted. Responsive to determining the user's attention has shifted, the sound is modified at the audio system and the modified sound is then communicated to the user.
