Method and apparatus for controlling display of digital content using eye movement

An apparatus for controlling display of digital content using eye movement comprising:

• a computer associated with a display and having one or more processors and further comprising:
• a memory containing:
• eye mapping module instructions executable by the one or more processors for tracking eye movements with respect to the display and for mapping an eye movement to a portion of displayed content defining an area of interest displayed at a first zoom level;
• and
• content control module instructions executable by the one or more processors for causing display of a magnification window over the displayed content responsive to a mapped eye movement, the window comprising a portion of the displayed content, wherein the portion of the displayed content is located in the area of interest of the displayed content and displayed at a second zoom level, where the second zoom level is greater than the first zoom level.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method for controlling magnification of a displayed digital content using eye movement comprising:

• tracking eye movements with respect to a display presenting display content to a user,
• based on a tracked eye movement, identifying an area of interest in the display associated with a location of eye focus;
• generating a window containing a magnified version of display content from within the area of interest;
• and
• displaying magnified display content within the window together with display content from outside the area of interest.
