1. A method comprising:
determining, based at least on image data representative of one or more images, one or more eye features associated with a subject and one or more facial features associated with the subject;
determining, based at least on the one or more facial features, a gaze direction associated with the subject;
determining, based at least on the one or more facial features, one or more weights corresponding to at least one eye feature of the one or more eye features;
updating the gaze direction using at least the one or more eye features and the one or more weights to determine an updated gaze direction associated with the subject; and
initiating one or more operations based at least on the updated gaze direction.
