Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having programs which, when executed by a computing device with an eye tracker, cause the computing device to:
determine a gaze endpoint of a subject in 3D space based on a vergence of two eyes using gaze directions of the two eyes in a 3D reference coordinate system detected by the eye tracker;
determine a plurality of respective distances between the gaze endpoint and a plural of representative points as a plurality of object representations representing a plurality of locations of a plurality of objects in the 3D space;
determine which object representation of the plurality of object representations the subject is gazing at based on the plurality of distances between the gaze endpoint and the plurality of the object representations; and
identify which object among the plurality of objects the subject is gazing at based on the determined object representation.
