Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) comprises an electronic display having a display region divided into a central region and one or more periphery regions. The central region may correspond to a binocular field of view of the user, while the periphery regions correspond to portions of a monocular field of view. The HMD further comprises an eye tracking system configured to determine a position of an eye of a user of the HMD. The HMD is configured to display a content item within a periphery region of the display that does not interfere with the user's view of content within the central region. In response to a determination by the eye tracking system that the user's eye is directed at the displayed content item within the periphery region, the HMD changes a visual property of the content item.
