Systems and methods for controlling operation of an on-board component

A method for controlling operation of an on-board component of a wearable device, the method comprising:

• causing at least one graphical icon associated with a control of at least one aspect of the on-board component to be shown on a display of the wearable device;
• causing a reticle to be displayed on the display;
• moving, based on an output of at least one sensor of the wearable device indicating a change in a viewing direction of the user of the wearable device, the reticle relative to the display in a first direction corresponding to the change in the viewing direction of the user;
• moving the at least one graphical icon in a second direction toward the reticle as the reticle moves relative to the display in the first direction, such that the reticle intercepts a portion of the at least one graphical icon;
• changing, based on the reticle having intercepted the portion of the at least one graphical icon, at least one aspect of the reticle to provide a visual indication to the user that the at least one graphical icon can be selected by looking in the direction of the at least one graphical icon for a predetermined period of time;
• selecting the at least one graphical icon when it is determined that the user has been looking in the direction of the at least one graphical icon for the predetermined period of time;
• and
• causing the on-board component to capture an image of a field of view of the user when at least one graphical icon is selected.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform a method for controlling operation of an on-board component of a wearable device, the method comprising:

• causing at least one graphical icon associated with a control of at least one aspect of the on-board component to be shown on a display of the wearable device;
• causing a reticle to be displayed on the display;
• moving, based on an output of at least one sensor of the wearable device indicating a change in a viewing direction of the user of the wearable device, the reticle relative to the display in a first direction corresponding to the change in the viewing direction of the user;
• moving the at least one graphical icon in a second direction toward the reticle as the reticle moves relative to the display in the first direction, such that the reticle intercepts a portion of the at least one graphical icon;
• changing, based on the reticle having intercepted the portion of the at least one graphical icon, at least one aspect of the reticle to provide a visual indication to the user that the at least one graphical icon can be selected by looking in the direction of the at least one graphical icon for a predetermined period of time;
• selecting the at least one graphical icon when it is determined that the user has been looking in the direction of the at least one graphical icon for the predetermined period of time;
• and
• causing the on-board component to capture an image of a field of view of the user when the at least one graphical icon is selected.
