Abstract
With the integration of eye tracking technologies in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, gaze-based interactions have opened up new possibilities for user interface design, including menu navigation. Prior research in gaze-based menu navigation in VR has predominantly focused on pie menus, yet recent studies indicate a user preference for list layouts. However, the comparison of gaze-based interactions on list menus is lacking in the literature. This work aims to fill this gap by exploring the viability of list menus for multi-level gaze-based menu navigation in VR and evaluating the efficiency of various gaze-based interactions, such as dwelling and border-crossing, against traditional controller navigation and multi-modal interaction using gaze and button press.
