This patent_x000D_
pending technology significantly improves all display viewing experiences from smart watches to large screen_x000D_
displays to cars while reducing display power, improving readability and reducing eye strain. Irystec smart_x000D_
display rendering software provides a substantially improved user-friendly visual display experience and_x000D_
personalize the viewing experience to adjust for age and gender, ethnicity or visual acuity._x000D_
This ENGAGE Plus project is a continuation to our previous ENGAGE in which we developed an integrated_x000D_
algorithm to modify the displayed content, i.e. brightness, contrast and color, according to the age of the viewer_x000D_
by unifying the age-driven contrast and color adaptation models into a unique model that takes into account the_x000D_
variability of the CSF and CMF with the age of the viewer. The results obtained from this adaptation were_x000D_
published in a conference article and are currently being incorporated into the production software of Irystec._x000D_
In this new project we aim at expanding the age adaptation by incorporating spatio-temporal saliency_x000D_
information into the model. Saliency is an indicator of visual attention and we intend to include it into the_x000D_
adaptation process in order to optimize the required processing. The most important objective of this project is_x000D_
the adaptation of the content to improve the power consumption of OLED displays by using saliency and age_x000D_
dependent color/brightness modifications. We will also address the modification of video sequences by using_x000D_
information from saliency to reduce the processing requirements for video sequences., program purpose french : Irystec Software Inc is introducing the world's first Perceptual Display Processing software engine. This patent_x000D_
