Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and systems for providing navigation assistance using the eye gaze of a user, specifically in the context of a video game.

  • The method involves receiving input from a user device during gameplay.
  • The eye gaze of the user is captured to identify a specific region of the video game scene that the user is looking at.
