Abstract:
1. A wearable electronic device, comprising: a flexible housing configured to enfold about an appendage of a user; a touch-sensitive display coupled to the flexible housing; a gaze detector configured to determine a gaze cone; and a control circuit, operable with the touch-sensitive display and the gaze detector, and configured to output a first presentation of data for display at the touch-sensitive display, wherein, responsive to the gaze detector determining the gaze cone, the control circuit is configured to alter the first presentation of the data outputting a second presentation of the data for display only at portions of the touch-sensitive display disposed within the gaze cone, and wherein after outputting the second presentation of the data and responsive to detecting a touch input at the touch-sensitive display, the control circuit is further configured to override the second presentation of the data by outputting a third presentation of the data in which the data at the portions of the touch-sensitive display that were disposed within the gaze cone in the second presentation are displayed at a location of the touch-sensitive display corresponding to the touch input such that the data is no longer output for display only at the portions of the touch-sensitive display disposed within the gaze cone.
