Adjustment of luminance within an augmented reality scene

1. A method, comprising:

producing, using one or more optical engines of an augmented reality display, an augmented reality scene;

determining, using at least one sensor, a location of a gaze of the user on the augmented reality display;

identifying, based upon the location of the gaze, at least one object a user is viewing, wherein the at least one object is a physical object; and

adjusting, based upon identification of the at least one object, luminance within the augmented reality scene, wherein the adjusting the luminance comprises decreasing the luminance of pixels in the augmented reality scene associated with a virtual aspect of the augmented reality scene.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises correlating the location of the gaze with a location within the augmented reality scene and identifying an object at the location within the augmented reality scene.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one object comprises a virtual object; and

wherein adjusting the luminance comprises increasing luminance of pixels in the augmented reality scene associated with the virtual object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the luminance comprises decreasing luminance of virtual objects not being viewed by the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises utilizing eye tracking to determine a position of focus of eyes of the user.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising readjusting the luminance within the augmented reality scene responsive to detecting a change in the location of the gaze.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more optical engines produce zones of luminance and wherein each zone of luminance is controlled independently of other zones of luminance.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more optical engines comprise an optical engine selected from the group consisting of: a projector coupled with a wave guide and a micro-display with a compensating prism.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a camera integrally coupled to the augmented reality display.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

one or more optical engines of an augmented reality display;

at least one sensor;

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

produce, using the one or more optical engines of an augmented reality display, an augmented reality scene;

determine, using the at least one sensor, a location of a gaze of the user within the augmented reality scene;

identify, based upon the location of the gaze, at least one object a user is viewing, wherein the at least one object is a physical object; and

adjust, based upon identification of the at least one object, luminance within the augmented reality scene, wherein to adjust the luminance comprises decreasing the luminance of pixels in the augmented reality scene associated with a virtual aspect of the augmented reality scene.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , where to identify comprises correlating the location of the gaze with a location within the augmented reality scene and identifying an object at the location within the augmented reality scene.

12. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one object comprises a virtual object; and

wherein to adjust the luminance comprises increasing luminance of pixels in the augmented reality scene associated with the virtual object.

13. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein to adjust the luminance of virtual objects not being viewed by the user.

14. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein to determine comprises utilizing eye tracking to determine a position of focus of eyes of the user.

15. The information handling device of claim 10 , comprising instructions to readjust the luminance within the augmented reality scene responsive to detecting a change in the location of the gaze.

16. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more optical engines produce zones of luminance and wherein each zone of luminance is controlled independently of other zones of luminance.

17. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more optical engines comprise an optical engine selected from the group consisting of: a projector coupled with a wave guide and micro-display with a compensating prism.

18. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that produces, using one or more optical engines of an augmented reality display, and augmented reality scene;

code that determines, using at least one sensor, a location of a gaze of the user on the augmented reality display;

code that identifies, based upon the location of the gaze, at least one object a user is viewing, wherein the at least one object is a physical object; and

code that adjusts, based upon identification of the at least one object, luminance within the augmented reality scene, wherein the code that adjusts the luminance comprises decreasing the luminance of pixels in the augmented reality scene associated with a virtual aspect of the augmented reality scene.
