- receive input regarding an item at which a person is looking;
- and
- present information regarding the item to a user via the display, the user being different from the person;
- wherein the input comprises input received from at least one camera in communication with the first device;
- wherein input received from the at least one camera is processed using eye tracking to identify first data related to where the person is looking, and wherein the first data is used to present the information;
- and
- wherein input received from the at least one camera is processed using gesture recognition to identify second data related to where the person is gesturing with at least a portion of the person's arm, and wherein the second data is used to present the information.

- receiving input regarding an item at which a person is looking;
- and
- presenting information regarding the item to a user via a display of a device, the user being different from the person;
- wherein the input comprises input received from at least one camera in communication with the device;
- wherein input received from the at least one camera is processed using eye tracking to identify first data related to where the person is looking, and wherein the first data is used to present the information;
