1. A system comprising:
a computing device configured to sense a position of a user's gaze on a display; and
at least one hardware processor configured to:
detect the position of the user's gaze on the display, based on an output from the computing device, wherein the display displays at least a portion of an image within a macro view and a thumbnail image of the image;
determine that the detected position of the user's gaze is within one of the thumbnail image or the macro view; and
in response to determining that the detected position of the user's gaze is within one of the thumbnail image or the macro view,
determine a position on the image that corresponds to the detected position within one of the thumbnail image or the macro view, and
automatically update a view of the image within the macro view to move the position on the image that corresponds to the detected position within one of the thumbnail image or the macro view toward a center of the macro view.
