A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving head-movement data that is indicative of head movement; detecting at least a portion of the head-movement data that is indicative of a head gesture; receiving eye-position data that is indicative of eye position; detecting at least a portion of the eye-position data that is indicative of an eye being directed towards a display of a head-mountable device (HMD); and causing the HMD to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode in response to the detection of both: (i) the eye-position data that is indicative of an eye directed towards the display, and (ii) the head-movement data indicative of the head gesture, wherein the eye-position data is received before the head-movement data, and wherein reception of the head-movement data is disabled until the eye-position data is received.
