Abstract
A system for reducing bandwidth and/or reducing power consumed by a display may comprise a display having a background plane and a region of interest plane that may be identified by a gaze tracker. The region of interest may be of a higher quality picture. In some embodiments, the display may be a large panel display and in others a head mounted display (HMD).
Claims24
A computing system comprising:
- an application processor;
- a graphics subsystem;
- and
- logic implemented at least partly in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic to:
- identify a future focus area for a user based on content context data and user context data;
- adjust performance parameters of the graphics subsystem based at least on where the user is looking, where an application attempts to get the user to look, and where the user is predicted to be looking in the future;
- and
- provide, for display, pixels in a focus region of a scene corresponding to the future focus area for the user and pixels outside of the focus region of the scene, wherein the pixels in the focus region of the scene have a higher density and higher quality than a density and quality of the pixels outside of the focus region of the scene.
A graphics apparatus comprising:
- a cache memory;
- and
- logic communicatively coupled to the cache memory, the logic implemented at least partly in one or more of configurable hardware logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic to:
- identify a future focus area for a user based on content context data and user context data;
- adjust performance parameters of the graphics apparatus based at least on where the user is looking, where an application attempts to get the user to look, and where the user is predicted to be looking in the future;
- and
- provide, for display, pixels in a focus region of a scene corresponding to the future focus area for the user and pixels outside of the focus region of the scene, wherein the pixels in the focus region of the scene have a higher density and higher quality than a density and quality of the pixels outside of the focus region of the scene.
At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by a graphics apparatus, cause the graphics apparatus to:
- identify a future focus area for a user based on content context data and user context data;
- adjust performance parameters of the graphics apparatus based at least on where the user is looking, where an application attempts to get the user to look, and where the user is predicted to be looking in the future;
- and
- provide, for display, pixels in a focus region of a scene corresponding to the future focus area for the user and pixels outside of the focus region of the scene, wherein the pixels in the focus region of the scene have a higher density and higher quality than a density and quality of the pixels outside of the focus region of the scene.
A method, comprising:
- identifying a future focus area for a user based on content context data and user context data;
- adjusting performance parameters of a graphics subsystem based at least on where the user is looking, where an application attempts to get the user to look, and where the user is predicted to be looking in the future;
- and
- providing, for display, pixels in a focus region of a scene corresponding to the future focus area for the user and pixels outside of the focus region of the scene, wherein the pixels in the focus region of the scene have a higher density and higher quality than a density and quality of the pixels outside of the focus region of the scene.
