Claim 11:
12. A head mounted device for communicating with an intraocular micro-display (IOMD) implant, the head mounted device comprising:
a frame for mounting to a head of a user;
a camera mounted in or on the frame in a forward-facing position;
a sensor disposed in or on the frame and configured to generate gaze direction data of the user by monitoring an eye of the user; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the camera and the sensor, wherein the controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the head mounted device to perform operations including:
acquiring a scene image with the camera;
searching one or more scene images, including the scene image, for a near-vision fiducial that comprises an identifiable visual marker that is worn on or near the user;
adjusting a focal distance of the camera to bring the near-vision fiducial into focus when the near-vision fiducial is identified in the one or more scene images;
determining a gazing direction of the eye based upon the gaze direction data;
identifying a sub-portion of the scene image based upon the gazing direction; and
relaying the sub-portion of the scene image to the IOMD implant for display to a retina of the eye.
