Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that monitors for user presence to determine if a head mounted device (HMD) display should be active or inactive. For example, a process may obtain first sensor data from a first sensor on the HMD. The sensor may be configured to capture sensor data corresponding to an eye box region in front of at least one display of the HMD. Based on the sensor data, the process may detect a gaze of a user of the HMD and based on detecting the gaze, an initial user presence corresponding to a user wearing the HMD is determined. Based on determining the initial user presence, the process may activate the at least one display of the HMD by changing a state of the at least one display from an inactive state to an active state.
