Using eye-tracking / eye metrics to detect vr eye-strain-levels, then using adaptive rendering to lower levels of eye-strain

Abstract

Methods and system for providing assistance to a user during interaction with game content of a video game includes monitoring eye strain indicators of the user as the user is interacting with the game content. Eye strain metrics are computed using the eye strain indicators collected for the user. An action for performing at the video game is identified based on the eye strain metrics. The identified action is forwarded to the video game, which, upon receipt, executes a command to adjust one or more rendering attributes of the game content presented to the user. The adjustment is defined to reduce the eye strain of the user.
