Claim 17:
18. A method to determine a target point of regard associated with a user of a display, the method comprising:
receiving a target image data associated with the user from a camera coupled with the display, wherein the target image data includes a target eye patch image data associated with the user;
determining, using a convolutional neural network, the target point of regard associated with the target image data based on:
the target eye patch image data,
a plurality of aggregated gaze reference vectors, and
a plurality of reference image data associated with the user, the plurality of reference image data respectively associated with the plurality of aggregated gaze reference vectors,

wherein the target point of regard is determined within a predetermined threshold; and
mapping the target point of regard onto the display by mapping to one of rendered content on the display, 2D coordinates associated with the display, 3D coordinates associated with the display, and/or pixels associated with the display;
wherein a region of interest associated with the target point of regard is associated with one or more of the following for the display:
a single point,
text,
a single pixel,
a cursor position,
a 3D graphical rendering,
a 2D graphical rendering,
a range of text,
a word,
a 2D area, and/or
a 3D area; and

wherein dimensions associated with the target point of regard exceed spatial dimensions of the display.
