Abstract

Claims (40)

1. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

render visual content at a first rendering position on a display screen;

detect a user gaze direction through an eye correction means towards said first rendering position;

receive data relating to optical properties of said eye correction means at said detected user gaze direction;

determine if said optical properties at said detected user gaze direction provide a threshold level of suitability for viewing said visual content;

render said visual content at a second rendering position on said display screen if said optical properties at said detected user gaze direction is below said threshold level; and

control transparency of said eye correction means at one or more user gaze directions, wherein the controlling of the transparency comprises providing a first transparency level at user gaze directions having a suitability above said threshold level and a second transparency level at user gaze directions having a suitability below said threshold level, wherein said first transparency level is higher than said second transparency level.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said second rendering position corresponds to a second user gaze direction through said eye correction means, wherein optical properties of said second user gaze direction is above said threshold level.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the rendering further comprises smoothly transitioning said visual content from said first rendering position to said second rendering position.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said eye correction means comprise augmented reality glasses.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the transparency further comprises providing said first transparency level at user gaze directions away from said display screen.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to control the focus of said eye correction means at one or more user gaze directions.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the controlling of the focus comprises focusing said eye correction means onto said display screen at user gaze directions having a suitability above said threshold level.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to determine a focus of said user's eyes.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to determine at least one of a relative position or orientation of said display screen and said eye correction means.

10. A method comprising:

rendering visual content at a first rendering position on a display screen;

detecting a user gaze direction through an eye correction means towards said first rendering position;

receiving data relating to optical properties of said eye correction means at said detected user gaze direction;

determining if said optical properties at said detected user gaze direction provide a threshold level of suitability for viewing said visual content;

rendering said visual content at a second rendering position on said display screen if said optical properties at said detected user gaze direction is below said threshold level; and

controlling transparency of said eye correction means at one or more user gaze directions, wherein the controlling of the transparency comprises providing a first transparency level at user gaze directions having a suitability above said threshold level and a second transparency level at user gaze directions having a suitability below said threshold level, wherein said first transparency level is higher than said second transparency level.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said second rendering position corresponds to a second user gaze direction through said eye correction means, wherein optical properties of said second user gaze direction is above said threshold level.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the rendering further comprises:

smoothly transitioning said visual content from said first rendering position to said second rendering position.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the controlling of the transparency further comprises:

providing said first transparency level at user gaze directions away from said display screen.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

controlling the focus of said eye correction means at one or more user gaze directions.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the controlling of the focus comprises:

focusing said eye correction means onto said display screen at user gaze directions having a suitability above said threshold level.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:

rendering visual content at a first rendering position on a display screen;

detecting a user gaze direction through an eye correction means towards said first rendering position;

receiving data relating to optical properties of said eye correction means at said detected user gaze direction;

determining if said optical properties at said detected user gaze direction provide a threshold level of suitability for viewing said visual content;

rendering said visual content at a second rendering position on said display screen if said optical properties at said detected user gaze direction is below said threshold level; and

controlling transparency of said eye correction means at one or more user gaze directions, wherein the controlling of the transparency comprises providing a first transparency level at user gaze directions having a suitability above said threshold level and a second transparency level at user gaze directions having a suitability below said threshold level, wherein said first transparency level is higher than said second transparency level.
