1. A method comprising:

  • obtaining a correspondence between a sensor placed beneath a selectively addressable region of a dual-mode display and the selectively addressable region;

    causing the dual-mode display to become opaque when displaying a display image;

    determining a portion of the display image visible to a user by making a measurement by the sensor while the dual-mode display is displaying the display image;

    based on the determination of the portion of the display image visible to the user, reducing consumption of computational resources by displaying the portion of the display image visible to the user; and

    during said making the measurement by the sensor, causing the selectively addressable region to stop displaying the display image, such that the selectively addressable region is substantially unnoticeable to the user.
