Abstract
Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for reducing eye-fatigue for users of binocular head-mounted displays. Aspects include displaying a content item by a display device of the binocular head-mounted display and calculating an estimated eye-fatigue of the user of the binocular head-mounted display. Based on a determination that the estimated eye-fatigue of the user exceeds a threshold level, aspects also include modifying the content item, by the processor, to encourage the user to take an eye-fatigue reduction action and displaying the modified content item by the display device of the binocular head-mounted display.
Claims8
A computer-implemented method for reducing eye-fatigue for a user of a binocular head-mounted display, the method comprising:
- displaying a content item by a display device of the head-mounted display;
- calculating, by a processor, an estimated eye-fatigue of the user of the binocular head-mounted display;
- based on a determination that the estimated eye-fatigue of the user exceeds a threshold level, modifying the content item, by the processor, to encourage the user to take an eye-fatigue reduction action that includes inserting an object into the content item having a stereoscopic depth that is greater than a fixed distance;
- and
- displaying the modified content item by the display device of the binocular head-mounted display.
