Abstract

Disclosed is computer-implemented method including marching first ray and second ray, along first gaze direction and second gaze direction that are estimated using gaze-tracking means, from given viewpoint into depth map, to determine first optical depth and second optical depth corresponding to first eye and second eye, respectively; calculating gaze convergence distance, based on first gaze direction and second gaze direction; detecting whether first optical depth lies within predefined threshold percent from second optical depth; and when it is detected that first optical depth lies within predefined threshold percent from second optical depth, selecting given focus distance as an average of at least two of: first optical depth, second optical depth, gaze convergence distance; and employing given focus distance for capturing given image using at least one variable-focus camera.
