Google Cardboard: extend time to activate objects?

When viewing a scene in the Cardboard mode, you select by putting the reticle on the object and holding it there. The problem is, on Apple devices that my boss and I have tested, you get about 1/3 of a second before the object is selected. That's too short for both our tastes.
(Thanks, John Blackmon, for teaching me the word "reticle" in this very forum.)
Is there a way to extend that time? Not to anything outrageous, but maybe to a full second?
Thanks.

Hmm ... some newer Cardboard headsets have a button, I found out yesterday. Would CVR work with a headset having an external button?
I've found that I got used to the gaze-to-select interface pretty fast. The big minefield is that I had built my scenarios with buttons right in the default sightline, meaning the student would accidentally gaze at things and trigger them. I had to move all my hotspots up or down 30 degrees or so. Also, several places had popup images/videos that were closed by click/tap. Of course, in Cardboard this meant you couldn't actually watch the video without closing it. I had to switch to closing them with buttons that were near, but not inside, the media they closed.

One way that it could work is as a setting in the scenario.
There is no reason that CVR can't support two ways to select in the same scenario. It does that now! You can select either with tap or gaze. Why can't JavaScript just trap the external-button-press event and forward it to the tap-on-the-screen event? I am not a JS programmer, but in languages I have used that would literally be one line of code.
