US Patent 10990171 Audio indicators of user attention in AR/VR environment

A method of notifying a user about attention from another user in an augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) system is provided. The method includes displaying a first image on a first electronic display to a first user of the AR/VR system and, upon detecting a gaze of the first user at a second user of the AR/VR system or the second user's avatar in the first image, notifying the second user about the gaze of the first user by changing a parameter of an audio communication channel from the first user to the second user, so as to make the first user more audible to the second user.
