OPTIMIZED FOCAL AREA FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAYS
First Claim
1. A method for presenting an optimized image to a user, the method comprising:
- creating an optimized image based on a field of view of a user in a physical environment;
tracking eye position and movement relative to the field of view to determine a focal region for the user;
optically coupling a portion of the optimized image to the user in the focal region of the user;
predicting a next eye movement for the user; and
.optically coupling a portion of the optimized image to the user in the focal region of the user at the next eye position.

Abstract
A method and system that enhances a user'"'"'s experience when using a near eye display device, such as a see-through display device or a head mounted display device is provided. An optimized image for display relative to the a field of view of a user in a scene is created. The user'"'"'s head and eye position and movement are tracked to determine a focal region for the user. A portion of the optimized image is coupled to the user'"'"'s focal region in the current position of the eyes, a next position of the head and eyes predicted, and a portion of the optimized image coupled to the user'"'"'s focal region in the next position.

11. A head mounted display device, comprising:
-
a display coupling at least a portion of an optimized image to a user'"'"'s focal region; inertial sensors that sense orientation information for the head mounted display device, eye tracking sensors detecting user eye position; and at least one processing unit, in communication with the display, inertial sensors and eye tracking sensors, to automatically display an optimized portion of the optimized image at a current position of the user'"'"'s eye relative to the display so that the portion of the image is coupled to the user'"'"'s focal region, determine a next position of the user'"'"'s eye and display another optimized portion of the optimized image at the next position of the user'"'"'s eye relative to the display so that the portion of the image is coupled to the user'"'"'s focal region at the next position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said one or more processor readable storage devices, the processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
-
creating a three dimensional model of a user viewing a scene using a display device, the scene comprising one or more objects; determining a field of view of the user based on the three dimensional model and determining a focal region of the user within the field of view; detecting eye movement patterns of the user in the focal region of the user; generating an optimized image, the optimized image visually enhances the appearance of one or more of the objects in the scene; coupling a portion of the optimized image to the user in the focal region of the user; predicting a next eye movement for the user; and coupling a portion of the optimized image to the user in the focal region of the user at the next eye position. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
