Abstract

An exemplary system may access head presence data and eye tracking data. The head presence data indicates a presence or an absence of a head of a user within a vicinity of a viewer console. The eye tracking data indicates whether an eye of a user is gazing at a display device. If the head presence data indicates that the head of the user is present and the eye tracking data indicates that the eye of the user is gazing at the display device, the system directs the user control system to operate in a first operating mode. If the head presence data indicates that the head of the user is present and the eye tracking data indicates that the eye of the user is not gazing at the display device, the system directs the user control system to operate in a second operating mode different from the first operating mode.
