1. A method for enabling object recognition using eye gaze tracking, comprising: displaying, on a display screen, an image of a scene viewable by a user; receiving information indicative of an eye gaze of the user; determining an area of interest within the image based on the eye gaze information; displaying, on the display screen, a tracking region representing the area of interest; determining an image segment based on the area of interest, the image segment being associated with an initial position of an object in the scene, wherein the image segment is determined when the tracking region is within a threshold proximity of the object; initiating an object recognition process on the image segment, wherein the object recognition process is limited to an area defined by the image segment; displaying an object tag on the display screen if a result of the object recognition process indicates that augmented reality information is available, wherein the object tag remains at a fixed position relative to the initial position of the object associated with the object tag and relative to the display screen for a plurality of images of the scene, and wherein the object tag automatically remains at the fixed position in the plurality of images as the object associated with the object tag is displayed at different positions in the plurality of images; displaying augmented reality information on the display screen if the gaze of the user is directed on or about the object tag at the fixed position; and hiding the object tag if the gaze of the user is not directed on or about the object tag.
