Claim 0:
1. A display system configured to project light to an eye of a user to display virtual image content, the display system comprising:
a frame configured to be supported on a head of the user;
a head-mounted display disposed on the frame, the display configured to project light into the user's eye to display virtual image content with different amounts of wavefront divergence to present virtual image content appearing to be located at different depths at different periods of time;
one or more eye-tracking cameras configured to image the user's eye; and
processing electronics in communication with the display and the one or more eye-tracking cameras, the processing electronics configured to:
define a registration volume relative to the display based on one or more parameters;
determine a position of the eye based on images of the eye obtained with the one or more eye-tracking cameras;
determine whether the position of the eye is within the registration volume of the head-mounted display system; and
control operation of the display based on determining whether the position of the eye is within the display registration volume,
wherein the processing electronics are configured to control operation of the display by causing the display to boost a brightness of a plurality of pixels of the display relative to other pixels of the display, wherein the plurality of pixels with a boosted brightness comprise pixels expected to undergo perceived dimming under improper registration.
