Systems and methods for simulating adaptation of eyes to changes in lighting conditions
Capture of visual content by image sensor(s) may define a luminance of the visual content. A viewing field of view may define an extent of the visual content presented on a display. The luminance may vary as a function of a viewing field of view. A user may change the viewing field of view from a first viewing field of view to a second viewing field. A first luminance of the visual content within the first viewing field of view and a second luminance of the visual content within the second viewing field of view may be determined. A lighting effect may be applied to the visual content based on a difference between the first luminance and the second luminance.
