1. A head-wearable electronic device; comprising:
memory comprising one or more storage media storing instructions;
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
a display;
a camera positioned toward an eye of a user wearing the head-wearable electronic device; and
a touch sensor configured to identify a contact point on a first side of the head-wearable electronic device opposite to a second side of the head-wearable electronic device defined by the display,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the head-wearable electronic device to:
display, via the display, a user interface (UI) object;
identify, using the touch sensor, the contact point;
based on the contact point at a position associated with the UI object being identified, identify, using the camera, a gaze point of the eye; and
based on the gaze point positioned within a reference distance from the identified contact point, execute a function of the UI object.
