Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that are capable of adjusting the appearance of computer-generated objects (e.g., augmentations) that are predicted to be outside the current focus of an optical-see-through HMD user's attention. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a first computer-generated object and a second computer-generated object on an optical-see-though display of a HMD. In some implementations, the first computer-generated object is identified based on a prediction that the attention of a user is directed to the first computer-generated object, and an appearance of the second computer-generated object is adjusted to change from a first state to a second state.
