1. A method for providing augmented reality (AR) overlay, comprising:
detecting a gaze target of a user viewing a real-world environment through a pair of AR glasses, the gaze target is a real-world object of the real-world environment identified by tracking a gaze of the user, the gaze target associated with an AR trigger element;
tracking one or more position parameters of the user, the one or more position parameters relate to positional changes of the user relative to the gaze target;
selectively correcting one or more attributes of the gaze target in an image of the gaze target captured by one or more image capturing devices, the one or more attributes corrected in proportion to the one or more position parameters of the user and returning the image of the gaze target with the corrected one or more attributes for rendering at a display portion of the pair of AR glasses to allow the user to maintain the gaze on the real-world object representing the gaze target during the positional changes of the user; and
activating the AR trigger element associated with the gaze target when the gaze of the user directed toward the gaze target exceeds a pre-defined threshold of time, the activation causing the AR overlay to render alongside the image of the gaze target with the corrected one or more attributes at the display portion of the pair of AR glasses as the user is viewing the real-world environment, the AR overlay providing information related to the real-world object corresponding to the gaze target.
