Abstract
Images are displayed on a wearable display by generating an inner region display signal, and generating an outer region display signal using the inner region signal. The outer region display signal is generated by determining motion, brightness and color characteristics from the inner region display signal. The outer region is of substantially lower resolution than the inner region, and is outside the viewer's foveal field of view. The viewing experience is enhanced by the increase in the size of the image due to the presence of the outer region. Because the outer region is outside of the foveal field of view, the viewer of the image does not perceive the change in resolution of the outer region. An outer region may alternatively be created by distorting a source image.
