PHYSICAL OBJECT ADDITION AND REMOVAL BASED ON AFFORDANCE AND VIEW

Physical object addition and removal based on affordance and view. A method tracks eye gaze of a group of users who view an environment, the group of users each having a respective field of view to the environment. The method assesses, based on the tracking, whether an object present in the respective fields of view of the group of users is clutter. The method also initiates a physical change to the environment based on the assessing. In some examples, assessing whether the object is clutter includes determining an extent to which the group of users avoid the object by looking around or away from the object, measuring visual dwell time on and around the object by the group of users, and/or identifying affordances of the object based on input from the group of users and/or on correlating the object to another object having known affordances associated therewith.
