US Patent 11009944 Systems and methods for displaying foveated images

In one embodiment, a computing system may determine a first region and a second region of an image based on gaze data of a user. The second region may be displayed with lower image resolution than the first region. The system may access a first pixel value associated with the first region of the image. The system may cause a first source driver circuit of a display to generate a first pixel signal. The first pixel signal may be configured to control a luminance of a first number of pixels. The system may access a second pixel value associated with the second region of the image. The system may cause a second source driver circuit of the display to generate a second pixel signal which may be configured to control a luminance of a second number of pixels. The second number may be larger than the first number.
