Abstract
A head mounted display (HMD) for displaying images to a user includes a sensor unit configured to detect motion of a head of the user of the HMD. The HMD also includes one or more processors configured to, in response to the motion, reduce contrast in a peripheral area of an image displayed to the user from an original contrast of the image, the image having a foveal area and the peripheral area relative to the optical axis of the eye of the user, the contrast being least reduced in a first portion of the peripheral area closest the foveal area and being most reduced in a second portion of the peripheral area farthest from the foveal area.
