Extremely high resolution foveated display
First Claim
1. A foveated display comprising:
- a computer;
a detailed imaging element for imaging a detailed portion of an image from the computer, the imaging element connected to the computer;
a focusing mechanism for focusing the detailed portion of the image, the focusing mechanism disposed adjacent to the imaging element and connected to the computer;
a wide area imaging element for imaging a wide-area portion of the image, the wide area imaging element connected to the computer;
means to optically combine the detailed portion with the wide area portion to form a foveated image; and
an imaging lens which focuses the foveated image to a desired location wherein the detailed imaging element, the focusing mechanism and the wide area imaging element have no moving parts.

Abstract
A foveated display. The display includes a computer. The display includes a detailed imaging element for imaging a detailed portion of an image from the computer. The imaging element is connected to the computer. The display includes a focusing mechanism for focusing the detailed portion of the image. The focusing mechanism is disposed adjacent to the imaging element and connected to the computer. The display includes a wide area imaging element for imaging a wide-area portion of the image. The wide area imaging element is connected to the computer. The display includes means to optically combine the detailed portion with the wide area portion to form a foveated image. The display includes an imaging lens which focuses the foveated image to a desired location wherein the detailed imaging element, the focusing mechanism and the wide area imaging element have no moving parts. A method for producing a foveated image. The method includes the steps of producing a detailed portion of the image with a detailed imaging element from a computer connected to the detailed imaging element. Then there is the step of producing a wide area portion of the image with a wide area imaging element from the computer connected to the wide area imaging element. Next there is the step of combining the detailed portion with the wide area portion to form the foveated image. Then there is the step of focusing the foveated image onto a desired location.
