Abstract:
1. A method for reducing latency to capture and display a future or subsequent image by anticipating a new field of view comprising the steps of: positioning a camera centered on an initial point of interest according to a first position of a user's eye; displaying a first field of view to said user, wherein said first field of view is electronically divided into a peripheral area and a foveal area, and wherein said display occurs in a remote location from said camera; comparing said displayed peripheral area to a previously displayed image centered on said initial point of interest to electronically detect a change in said peripheral area; responsive to said detection of change in said peripheral area, repositioning said camera to a position centered upon said detected change; electronically capturing and storing an anticipated field of view image centered upon said detected change without displaying said anticipated field of view image to said user; and remotely displaying said stored anticipated field of view image to said user responsive to determination that said user's eye has moved to a point of interest near said detected change.
