Abstract
An imaging system and a method of producing images for a display apparatus, via the imaging system includes at least one focusable camera for capturing at least one image of a given real-world scene; means for generating a depth map or a voxel map of the given real-world scene; and a processor coupled to the focusable camera and the aforesaid means. The processor is communicably coupled with the display apparatus. The processor is configured to receive information of the gaze direction of the user; map the gaze direction to the depth map or the voxel map to determine an optical depth of a region of interest in the given real-world scene; and control the focusable camera to employ a focus length that is substantially similar to the determined optical depth of the region of interest when capturing the at least one image.
