Abstract
Gaze detection technology may be used to aim aimable optics on an imaging device. As a result, the user need not do anything more to direct the camera's line of sight than to look at something. In some embodiments, the camera may then adjust the focus and exposure based on the gaze target. In addition, the camera may keep track of how long the user looks at a given area within a scene and, if a time threshold is exceeded, the camera may zoom in to that gaze target.
