Abstract
Methods and systems for reductions in switching between depth planes of a multi-depth plane display system are disclosed. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes using different wavefront divergence. The system may monitor the fixation points based upon the gaze of each of the user's eyes, with each fixation point being a three-dimensional location in the user's field of view. Location information of virtual objects to be presented to the user are obtained, with each virtual object being associated with a depth plane. In some embodiments, the depth plane on which the virtual object is to be presented is modified based upon the fixation point of the user's eyes. For example, where the user is switching their fixation between virtual objects on two different depth planes, the display system may be configured to modify the presentation of one of the objects such that both objects are placed on the same depth plane.
