Display apparatus and method of displaying using gaze prediction and image steering

A method of displaying, via a display apparatus, the method comprising:

• processing sensor data collected by a configuration of gaze sensors of the display apparatus to determine a current gaze location and a current gaze velocity and/or acceleration of a user;
• predicting a gaze location and a gaze velocity and/or acceleration of the user, based at least partially upon the current gaze location and the current gaze velocity and/or acceleration;
• processing an input image, based upon the predicted gaze location and the predicted gaze velocity and/or acceleration, to generate at least a first image and a second image, wherein the first image has a first resolution, while the second image has a second resolution, the second resolution being higher than the first resolution;
• rendering, via at least one first image renderer and at least one second image renderer of the display apparatus, the first image and the second image, respectively, wherein a projection of the first image is optically combined with a projection of the second image using at least one optical combiner of the display apparatus;
• determining, based upon the predicted gaze location and the predicted gaze velocity and/or acceleration, a region of the at least one optical combiner onto which the projection of the second image is to be focused;
• employing an image steering unit of the display apparatus to make an adjustment to focus the projection of the second image on said region of the at least one optical combiner;
• and
• switching off or dimming the at least one second image renderer during an adjusting phase of the image steering unit when the image steering unit is making the adjustment.
