Techniques to switch between different types of virtual assistance based on threshold being met

A method, comprising:

• initiating a calibration process for calibrating eye tracking to a particular user, the eye tracking being executable at least in part using a device;
• receiving input from at least one sensor;
• based at least in part on the input from the at least one sensor, determining whether a threshold is met;
• based on initiation of the calibration process and based on identifying in a first instance that the threshold has not been met, providing virtual assistance audibly that indicates that the particular user is to look at first and second graphical objects presented on a display in a particular sequence for calibrating the eye tracking;
• based on initiation of the calibration process and based on identifying in a second instance that the threshold has been met, presenting, on the display, visual virtual assistance that indicates that the particular user is to look at the first and second graphical objects presented on the display in the particular sequence for calibrating the eye tracking;
• and
• subsequently executing the eye tracking at the device according to the calibration process to control presentation of an augmented reality (AR) experience provided via the device.

At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:

• initiate a calibration process for tailoring eye tracking settings to a particular user, the eye tracking settings being used as part of eye tracking executable at least in part using the at least one processor;
• receive input from a sensor accessible to the at least one processor;
• based at least in part on the input from the sensor, determine whether a threshold is met;
• based on initiation of the calibration process and responsive to the threshold not being met, provide one or more notifications audibly using the at least one processor that indicate that the particular user is to look at first and second graphical objects presented on the display in a particular sequence for tailoring the eye tracking settings;
• based on initiation of the calibration process and responsive to the threshold being met, present, on a display accessible to the at least one processor, one or more visual notifications that indicate that the particular user is to look at the first and second graphical objects presented on the display in the particular sequence for tailoring the eye tracking settings;
• tailor the eye tracking settings based on the particular user looking at the first and second graphical objects in the particular sequence;
• and
• execute eye tracking according to the eye tracking settings tailored to the particular user as part of presentation of an augmented reality (AR) experience provided via the at least one processor.
