A method comprising:
- receiving, via one or more sensors of a wearable head device comprising a see-through display, sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device;
- determining an image based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment;
- enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the image corresponding to a first portion of the surrounding environment;
- forgoing enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the image corresponding to a second portion of the surrounding environment;
- and
- presenting, concurrently via the see-through display of the wearable head device, the enhanced first portion of the image and a see-through view of the second portion of the surrounding environment,
- wherein presenting the enhanced first portion comprises presenting the enhanced first portion at a region of the see-through display determined based on a position of an eye of the user relative to a field of view of the see-through display.
