Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods may provide for technology to dynamically control a display in response to ocular characteristic measurements of at least one eye of a user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a graphics processor to dynamically adjust, in response to a measurement of at least one ocular characteristic of an eye of a user visually presented with visual content in a virtual environment by a display device, the at least one ocular characteristic including a pupil dilation of the eye of the user, graphical processing of the visual content by manipulating one or more objects associated with a graphical scene in the visual content, wherein the graphics processor is to dynamically adjust the graphical processing of the visual content in response to a comparison of the measured pupil dilation of the user to a predetermined initial threshold value.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the graphics processor is to dynamically adjust the graphical processing of the visual content in response to the measured pupil dilation being greater than the predetermined initial threshold value.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the graphics processor is to dynamically adjust the display device the graphical processing of the visual content using the measurement as an input control value.

4. A method of processing an image for display, comprising:
dynamically adjusting, via a graphics processor in response to a measurement of at least one ocular characteristic of an eye of a user visually presented with visual content in a virtual environment by a display device, the at least one ocular characteristic including a pupil dilation of the eye of the user, graphical processing of the visual content by manipulating one or more objects associated with a graphical scene in the visual content, wherein the graphical processing of the visual content is dynamically adjusted in response to a comparison of the measured pupil dilation of the user to a predetermined initial threshold value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the graphical processing of the visual content is dynamically adjusted in response to the measured pupil dilation being greater than the predetermined initial threshold value.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the graphical processing of the visual content is dynamically adjusted using the measurement as an input control value.

7. At least one computer readable storage medium, comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a graphics processor of a computing device, cause the graphics processor to:
dynamically adjust, in response to a measurement of at least one ocular characteristic of an eye of a user visually presented with visual content in a virtual environment by a display device, the at least one ocular characteristic including a pupil dilation of the eye of the user, graphical processing of the visual content by manipulating one or more objects associated with a graphical scene in the visual content, wherein the graphics processor is to dynamically adjust the graphical processing of the visual content in response to a comparison of the measured pupil dilation of the user to a predetermined initial threshold value.

8. The least one computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the graphics processor is to dynamically adjust the graphical processing of the visual content in response to the measured pupil dilation being greater than the predetermined initial threshold value.

9. The least one computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the graphics processor is to dynamically adjust the graphical processing of the visual content using the measurement as an input control value.
