Adaptive displays to address the vergence-accommodation conflict

An apparatus, comprising:

• control circuitry;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the control circuitry, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• receive a piece of three-dimensional (3D) content comprising a plurality of segments;
• determine that a first segment of the plurality of segments comprises a 3D object, wherein the 3D object corresponds to a first location within the first segment;
• change a first microdisplay of a plurality of microdisplays from a first position to a second position based on the first location of the 3D object within the first segment;
• and
• display the first segment comprising the 3D object using the plurality of microdisplays, wherein the first microdisplay is at the second position as the first segment is displayed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

• receive a piece of three-dimensional (3D) content comprising a plurality of segments;
• determine that a first segment of the plurality of segments comprises a 3D object, wherein the 3D object corresponds to a first location within the first segment;
• change a first microdisplay of a plurality of microdisplays from a first position to a second position based on the first location of the 3D object within the first segment;
• and
• display the first segment comprising the 3D object using the plurality of microdisplays, wherein the first microdisplay is at the second position as the first segment is displayed.
