A method includes displaying a user interface (UI) including a first UI element that is associated with a first UI operation and a second UI element that is associated with a second UI operation. The method includes, in response to detecting a first gaze input directed to one of the first UI element and the second UI element, displaying a visual indicator at a fixed location that is separate from the first UI element and the second UI element. The method includes, in response to detecting, via the eye tracker, a second gaze input directed to the visual indicator: performing the first UI operation in response to the first gaze input being directed to the first UI element, and performing the second UI operation in response to the first gaze input being directed to the second UI element.
