Abstract
By tracking a user's eyes, an indicia scanning system can make educated guesses as to what the user is interested in. This insight could be useful in dynamically configuring a camera system, configuring an indicia decoding process or even as a method to select data that the user is interested in.

-20. (canceled)
A portable computer comprising:
- a first imaging system configured to capture an image within a field of view;
- a second imaging system configured to track pupils of a user;
- and
- a processor that is in data communication with the first imaging system and the second imaging system, the processor configured to:
- display the image on a visual display;
- monitor a gaze of the user based on the tracked pupils to determine a gaze zone coordinate, wherein the gaze zone coordinate is representative of a location that the pupils of the user are determined to be viewing on the visual display;
- display, on the visual display, an eye gaze cursor graphic at the determined gaze zone coordinate;
- and
- move the eye gaze cursor graphic in an instance in which the gaze zone coordinate is altered.

A portable computer comprising:
- a first imaging system configured to capture an image within a field of view;
- a second imaging system configured to track pupils of a user;
- and
- a processor that is in data communication with the first imaging system and the second imaging system, the processor configured to:
- display the image on a visual display;
- display an eye gaze cursor graphic at a cursor location on the visual display, wherein the cursor location is determined based on at least on a gaze zone coordinate;
- move the eye gaze cursor graphic to a different cursor location on the visual display in an instance in which based at least on a change to the gaze zone coordinate;
- and
- seed the gaze zone coordinate, wherein the gaze zone coordinate is seed based in part on an auto-focus routine of the first imaging system or an auto-exposure routine of the first imaging system.

A method comprising:
- displaying, on a visual display, an image captured by a first imaging system;
- monitor, using a second imaging system configured to track pupils of a user, a gaze of the user based on the tracked pupils to determine a gaze zone coordinate, wherein the gaze zone coordinate is representative of a tracked location of the pupils;
- display, on the visual display, an eye gaze cursor graphic at the determined the gaze zone coordinate;
- and
- causing the eye gaze cursor graphic to be moved on the visual display in an instance in which the gaze zone coordinate is altered.
