Abstract

A system includes an eye-tracking device configured to track a user's eye gaze while looking at media content comprising an image, and a processor configured to execute one or more computer program modules, including a content determination module that, when executed by the processor, analyzes the media content to identify the image, an eye gaze determination module that, when executed by the processor, determines a gaze location of the user's eye gaze while looking at the image, and an event determination module that, when executed by the processor, determines an event to trigger based on the identification of the image and the gaze location.
