1. An imaging device, comprising an image sensor having a field of view for recording an image;
- an eye tracking sensor coupled to the image sensor having;
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 image sensor; and
a processor for selectively adjusting a resolution of at least a portion of an image in the field of view as a function of the viewer'"'"'s focus point.
