Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising;
rendering a view of a virtual environment of a video game for display in a head mounted display of a user, wherein the virtual environment includes a plurality of objects;
tracking gaze of the user;
detecting that the gaze of the user is directed towards an object in the view for a period of time;
generating a heads up display (HUD) interface including information related to the object;
surfacing the HUD interface near the object in the view of the virtual environment;
detecting that the gaze is directed away from the object;
generating a gaze history function of the gaze that is tracked after detecting the gaze is directed away from the object, wherein the gaze history function measures attention of the user in relation to the object;
removing the HUD interface when the gaze history function satisfies a time decay function that measures decaying attention of a generic user in relation to a generic object; and
increasing transparency of the HUD interface before performing the removing of the HUD interface as long as the gaze history function satisfies the time decay function.
