Abstract

A virtual reality (VR) system can be implemented to adjust visual complexity based on real-time eye fatigue monitoring. The system utilizes an electronic device that includes a head-mounted display (HMD) and eye-tracking sensors. The device generates a VR user interface corresponding to a three-dimensional virtual environment and renders it on the HMD. While the user interacts with the virtual environment, the system continuously monitors their eye movements and behavior using the eye-tracking sensors. The system analyzes this data to detect signs of eye fatigue. Based on the detected eye fatigue, the system dynamically adjusts the visual complexity of the VR user interface in real-time. This adaptive approach aims to enhance user comfort and potentially extend the duration of VR sessions without causing excessive eye strain.
