User interface programmatic scaling

A method for scaling a visual element displayed via a display device, the method comprising:

• receiving gaze tracking data;
• using the gaze tracking data, determining a plurality of gaze locations at which a user is gazing on a screen of the display device;
• receiving depth tracking data;
• using the depth tracking data, determining that a user's pointer is at a predetermined location;
• in response to determining that the user's pointer is at the predetermined location, locking a locked gaze location on the screen, wherein the locked gaze location includes at least a portion of the visual element;
• in response to locking the locked gaze location, programmatically scaling the visual element by a predetermined amount to an enlarged size;
• and
• receiving a user input selecting the visual element at the enlarged size.

• in response to locking the locked gaze location, programmatically scaling the visual element by a predetermined amount to an enlarged size;
• receiving a first user input selecting the visual element at the enlarged size;
• monitoring the user's subsequent use of the user interface system;
• based on the user's subsequent use, modifying the predetermined amount to a user-specific amount;
• programmatically scaling the visual element by the user-specific amount to a user-specific size;
• and
• receiving a second user input selecting the visual element at the user-specific size.
