DEPTH BASED FOVEATED RENDERING FOR DISPLAY SYSTEMS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18959036 titled 'DEPTH BASED FOVEATED RENDERING FOR DISPLAY SYSTEMS

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems for depth-based foveated rendering in a display system are disclosed. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes using different wavefront divergence. Some embodiments include monitoring eye orientations of a user of the display system. A fixation point can be determined based on the eye orientations, the fixation point representing a three-dimensional location with respect to a field of view. Location information of virtual object(s) to present is obtained, with the location information including three-dimensional position(s) of the virtual object(s). A resolution of the virtual object(s) can be adjusted based on a proximity of the location(s) of the virtual object(s) to the fixation point. The virtual object(s) are presented by the display system according to the adjusted resolution(s).
