A method for providing a graphic interface comprising:
- displaying a set of interface tiles on a display device;
- detecting a location of a user's gaze;
- identifying a interface tile from the set of interface tiles that the user is looking at for a period of time;
- displaying a expansion tile along with the set of interface tiles, the expansion tile comprises additional content associated with the identified interface tile of the set of interface tiles.
An apparatus for providing a graphic interface comprising:
- a eye-tracking device;
- a display device;
- and
- a processor based system, wherein the processor based system is configured to:
- cause the display device to display a set of interface tiles on the display device;
- detecting a location of a user's gaze using signals from the eye-tracking device;
- identify a interface tile from the set of interface tiles that the user is looking at for a period of time;
- cause the display device to display a expansion tile along with the set of interface tiles, the expansion tile comprises additional content associated with the identified interface tile of the set of interface tiles.
A computer software product comprising computer executable codes stored on a computer readable storage medium, wherein the computer executable code is configured to cause a processor based system to perform the steps of:
- displaying a set of interface tiles on a display device;
- detecting a location of a user's gaze;
- identifying a interface tile from the set of interface tiles that the user is looking at for a period of time;
- displaying a expansion tile along with the set of interface tiles, the expansion tile comprises additional content associated with the identified interface tile of the set of interface tiles.
