1. A system, comprisinga plurality of displays including a first display and a second display, each display in communication with an image sensor having a field of view for recording an image;
- a first eye tracking sensor associated with the first display and a second eye tracking sensor associated with the second display, wherein an eye tracking sensor comprises;
a light emitter for emitting a light beam,an optical sensor for receiving a light reflected from a viewer'"'"'s eyes, andan image processor coupled to the optical sensor for calculating a location of a viewer'"'"'s focus point and sending the location of the viewer'"'"'s focus point to the image sensor; and
a processor for;
determining at least one of the plurality of displays the viewer is looking at based on the viewer'"'"'s focus point,activating at least one eye tracking sensor associated with the at least one determined display,tracking the viewer'"'"'s focus point while the viewer is looking at the at least one determined display, andselectively adjusting a resolution of at least a portion of an image on the determined display as a function of the viewer'"'"'s focus point.

14. A system, comprising:
-
a plurality of displays, including a first display and a second display, each display in communication with at least one of a plurality of image sensors having overlapping fields of view for recording an image; a first eye tracking sensor associated with a first area of the plurality of displays and a second eye tracking sensor associated with a second area of the plurality of displays, wherein an eye tracking sensor comprises; a light emitter for emitting a light beam, an optical sensor for receiving a light reflected from a viewer'"'"'s eyes, and an image processor coupled to the optical sensor for calculating a location of a viewer'"'"'s focus point and sending the location of the viewer'"'"'s focus point to the at least one of the plurality of image sensors; and a processor for; determining an area of the plurality of displays the viewer is looking at based on the viewer'"'"'s focus point, determining at least one display associated with the area, activating at least one eye tracking sensor associated with the at least one determined display, tracking the viewer'"'"'s focus point while the viewer is looking at the area of the plurality of displays, and selectively adjusting a resolution of at least a portion of an image on the area of the plurality of displays as a function of the viewer'"'"'s focus point.
