determining, based on the gaze direction, whether the user has inspected first information associated with a task;
and
in response to determining that the user has inspected the first information associated with the task:
detecting a first object associated with the task;
and
displaying second information in association with the first object in order to perform the task on the first object.

4 more elements

A device comprising:

one or more processors;
a non-transitory memory;
and
one or more instructions stored by the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
determine a gaze direction of a user;
determine, based on the gaze direction, whether the user has inspected first information associated with a task;
and
in response to determining that the user has inspected the first information associated with the task:
detect a first object associated with the task;
