Abstract
Systems and methods that provide a hierarchical display to a user based on a position of the user's focus are described herein. The position of the user's focus may be determined by tracking, for example, a position of the user's eyes, a position of a mouse cursor within the display, a position of an application window within the display, or a combination thereof. Based on the position of the user's focus, the display may be divided into multiple display regions, and the display regions may be ranked, such as by prioritizing a display region that the user is focusing on. Display quality (e.g., transmission rate, image resolution, degree of image compression, etc.) of the display regions may be determined based on the rank of the display regions, thereby providing higher display/image quality to regions based on what the user is actively looking at.
