DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING RENDERING BASED ON VIEWER FOCUS AREA FROM EYE TRACKING
First Claim
1. A computing device to modify rendered content on a display of the computing device as a function of eye focus area, the computing device comprising:
- a display having a display screen on which content can be displayed;
an eye tracking sensor to generate sensor data indicative of the position of an eye of a user of the computing device;
an eye tracking module to receive the sensor data from the eye tracking sensor and determine an eye focus area on the display screen as a function of the sensor data; and
a rendering module to adjust a visual characteristic of the rendered content on the display as a function of the eye focus area.

Abstract
Devices and methods for modifying content rendered on the display of a computing device as a function of eye focus area include receiving sensor data from one or more eye tracking sensors, determining an eye focus area on the display screen as a function of the sensor data, and adjusting one or more visual characteristics of the rendered content as a function of the eye focus area. Perceived quality of the rendered content may be improved by improving the visual characteristics of the content displayed within the eye focus area. Rendering efficiency may be improved by degrading the visual characteristics of the content displayed outside of the eye focus area. Adjustable visual characteristics include the level of detail used to render the content, the color saturation or brightness of the content, and rendering effects such as anti-aliasing, shading, anisotropic filtering, focusing, blurring, lighting, and/or shadowing.
