Abstract
An electronic device that includes a display and an eye tracker configured to collect eye tracking data regarding a gaze of one or more of a user's eyes across the display. The electronic device also includes processing circuitry that is operatively coupled to the display and configured to generate pixel data for frames of content based on the eye tracking data such that the content is configured to be shown on the display in a dynamically foveated manner. The processing circuitry is configured to determine dither blocks, each of which corresponds to a subset of the plurality of pixels. The processing circuitry is configured to apply a dither pattern to the frames of the plurality of frames of content independent of the gaze of one or more of the user's eyes and based on the dither blocks.
