Mixed reality device gaze invocations

A method, comprising:

• causing a view to be provided to a user such that the view includes a hologram, and such that the view further includes a gaze selection area that is associated with a selectable option;
• determining a gaze location that is associated with a gaze of the user;
• starting a gaze dwell timer responsive to the gaze location coinciding with the gaze selection area;
• causing the gaze dwell timer to progress towards expiration while the gaze location coincides with the gaze selection area;
• adjusting a speed associated with the gaze dwell timer based on the gaze location being in a specific portion of the gaze selection area, wherein the speed is a rate at which the gaze dwell timer progresses towards expiration;
• and
• causing the selectable option to be selected responsive to the gaze dwell timer finishing.

A processor-readable storage medium, having stored thereon processor-executable code that, upon execution by at least one processor, enables actions, including:

• enabling an operator to use a gaze associated with the operator to begin a select-in-progress of a selectable option;
• causing the select-in-progress to progress towards selection while the gaze location coincides with the gaze selection area;
• enabling the operator to use the gaze to adjust a speed associated with the select-in-progress, wherein the speed is a rate at which the select-in-progress progresses towards expiration;
• and
• causing the selectable option to be selected responsive to a completion of the select-in-progress.
