Abstract

A display system is capable of displaying images of high resolution on a main screen, and augmentation images in augmentation regions located around the main screen. The viewing experience is enhanced by the presence of the augmentation images because of the increase in visual information conveyed to viewers. The augmentation regions lie outside of the foveal field of view of the viewers, so the augmentation images can be of lower resolution than the high resolution images. The use of lower resolution augmentation images reduces the cost of the display system.
