<p>Light from an image displayed on a display screen (10) is transmitted to an observer's eye (11) by way of a dynamic optical element (12) (such as a spatial light modulator or an electrically switchable holographic composite) which acts as a lens. Emitters (17) on the display screen (10) emit infrared radiation which is projected by the dynamic lens (12) as a broad wash onto the eye (11). Infrared radiation reflected back from the eye (11) is focused by the dynamic lens (12) onto detectors (18) also provided on the display screen (10). The detectors (18) are thus able to sense the direction of eye gaze, and the dynamic lens (12) is controlled in dependence on this to create an area of high resolution in an area of interest centred on the direction of gaze, which is moved to follow the eye gaze as its direction alters. Other than in the area of interest, the dynamic lens (12) has a relatively low resolution.</p> |
