A computing system, a method, and a computer-readable storage medium for adjusting eye gaze are described. The method includes capturing a video stream including images of a user, detecting the user's face region within the images, and detecting the user's facial feature regions within the images based on the detected face region. The method includes determining whether the user is completely disengaged from the computing system and, if the user is not completely disengaged, detecting the user's eye region within the images based on the detected facial feature regions. The method also includes computing the user's desired eye gaze direction based on the detected eye region, generating gaze-adjusted images based on the desired eye gaze direction, wherein the gaze-adjusted images include a saccadic eye movement, a micro-saccadic eye movement, and/or a vergence eye movement, and replacing the images within the video stream with the gaze-adjusted images.
