Foraging is a behavior that involves not only visual search but also the actions necessary to interact with and manipulate the environment. It requires the integration of perception and action, making it an ideal model for studying how attention and behavior are coordinated. This talk will present two complementary perspectives on eye-based foraging tasks. The first perspective examines the use of gaze as an input mechanism for interacting with the environment during real-time search tasks, highlighting how observers sample information in such settings. The second perspective focuses on recording eye movements during foraging tasks, investigating the relationship between visual attention and manual actions. By analyzing the coordination between where we look and how we act, these perspectives offer a richer understanding of the interplay between attention and action. Together, this provides insights for understanding real-world tasks, where efficient visual search and action are essential for success in everyday activities.
