Gaze based interface for augmented reality environment

A method comprising:

• providing an augmented reality object for display by a head-mounted device (HMD) worn by a user;
• providing an augmented reality graphic for display by the HMD on a plane and overlaid on the augmented reality object;
• determining a gaze direction of the user using sensor data captured by a sensor of the MID;
• and
• responsive to determining that the gaze direction intersects with the augmented reality graphic on the plane and remains intersecting for at least a period of time:
• determining a position of intersection between the gaze direction and the augmented reality graphic on the plane, and
• providing a modified version of the augmented reality object for display by the HMD according to the position of intersection during the period of time.

A method comprising:

• providing an augmented reality graphic for display by a head-mounted device (HMD) worn by a user, the augmented reality graphic displayed on a plane and overlaid on an object presented by a display of a client device;
• determining a gaze direction of the user using sensor data captured by a sensor of the HMD;
• and
• responsive to determining that the gaze direction intersects with the augmented reality graphic on the plane and remains intersecting for at least a period of time:
• determining a position of intersection between the gaze direction and the augmented reality graphic on the plane, and
• transmitting instructions to the client device to modify the object in the display according to the position of intersection during the period of time.
