1. An information handling system comprising:
a housing;
a processor disposed in the housing and operable to execute instructions that process information;
a memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information;
a non-transient storage interfaced with the processor and operable to store the instructions and information;
a display interfaced with the processor and operable to present the information as visual images; and
a sensor configured to detect a position of an end user head; and
instructions stored in the non-transient memory that when executed on the processor cause:
presentation on the display of a multiple square grid;
calibration of an end user head position to a first position relative to the display, the first position defined as a first location at which a gaze of the end user is located on the display when the end user looks straight ahead and represented as a highlighted one square of the multiple square grid;
sensing with the sensor the end user head movement from the first position to a second position relative to the display, the second position defined as a second location at which a gaze of the end user is located on the display when the end user looks straight ahead; and
highlighting another square of the multiple square grid to represent the second location.
