Abstract
An electronic device may perform an operation to content (e.g., virtual content) that causes a stereo offset to the content, thus causing the content to become out of focus to a user. For example, based on the stereo offset the user may experience double vision when viewing the content. The operation may include a stereo offset that causes a misalignment of an image presented on a display for the user's left eye and a display for the user's right eye. By causing the user to experience double vision or otherwise perceive the content out of focus, the user may be more inclined to view other content, which may include targeted content by the electronic device.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, for providing on a stereoscopic display of an electronic device, first content and second content, wherein the second content is presented as a first rendering on a first display of the stereoscopic display and as a second rendering on a second display of the stereoscopic display;
- determining the first content is prioritized over the second content for viewing by a user of the stereoscopic display;
- and
- applying a stereoscopic distortion to the second content, wherein based on the stereoscopic distortion the first rendering is misaligned with respect to the second rendering such that the second content appears out of focus on the stereoscopic display.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising:
- computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform one or more operations comprising:
- identifying first content and second content, wherein the second content is presented as a first rendering on a first display of a stereoscopic display and as a second rendering on a second display of the stereoscopic display;
- obtaining gaze information associated with a user viewing the stereoscopic display;
- determining, based on the gaze information, the first content is prioritized;
- and
- in response to determining the first content is prioritized, performing an operation to cause a misalignment between the first rendering and the second rendering such that the second content appears out of focus on the stereoscopic display.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to:
- present, on a stereoscopic display, virtual content, wherein the stereoscopic display comprises a transparent display configured to allow a user to view an environment that comprises real world content;
- determine a focal distance of the real world content;
- and
- perform, based in part on the focal distance, a stereo offset that causes a misalignment of the virtual content on the stereoscopic display such that the virtual content appears out of focus on the stereoscopic display.
