Claim Text:
1. A near-eye, mixed reality display system comprising: at least one display optical system being positioned in a near-eye, mixed reality display device to be seen through by at least one eye; at least one image generation unit for generating an image and having an optical alignment with the at least one display optical system, the at least one image generation unit having a variable focal length; a gaze detection system comprising a respective arrangement of gaze detection elements positioned by the near-eye, mixed reality display device, the gaze detection elements including illuminators for generating glints and at least one sensor having a detection area for detecting glints for the at least one display optical system and generating eye data; one or more software controlled processors communicatively coupled to the at least one image generation unit and the at least one sensor; a memory accessible by the one or more processors for storing software and data including the eye data; the one or more processors for determining at least one gaze vector for the at least one eye based on the eye data; and the one or more software controlled processors operable to determine a current user focal region based on the at least one gaze vector in a current 3D user field of view, the one or more processors operable to identify one or more virtual objects in the current 3D user field of view that the current user intends to interact with in the current user focal region, and the one or more processors operable to control the focal length of the at least one image generation unit of the display optical system of the current user to create one or more images in which each of the one or more virtual objects appears at a respective focal region in the current 3D user field of view for a natural sight view, wherein the object in the current user focal region is correlated with user-specific information from a user profile database such that the user intent to interact with the object is based on the correlation.
