1. An electronic device comprising:
a body part;
a glass member disposed on the body part;
a display disposed on the glass member;
a support part rotatably connected to the body part;
a sensor comprising an eye tracking camera and a front camera configured to capture an image of a front side of a user; and
a processor operatively connected to the display and the sensor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
output at least one content via the display;
recognize at least one object by the front camera;
obtain the user's gaze dwell time for the object by the eye tracking camera;
based on the gaze dwell time being longer than or equal to a reference time, obtain an area occupied by the object in a field of view (FOV) of the front camera;
determine an importance level of the at least one content;
in case of the importance level being less than a predetermined value, based on the area, output the at least one content on a region having no overlap with the object, or reduce a size of the at least one content and output the at least one content on one side of the display;
in case of the importance level being equal to or greater than the predetermined value, output the at least one content without reducing the size; and
based on the user's gaze dwell time for the object being less than the reference time, output the at least one content in a type identical to an initial output type.
