1. An image processing method, comprising:
acquiring a fixation point position on a respective screen viewed by each of at least one dominant eye of a user, the at least one dominant eye including at least one of a left eye and a right eye of the user;
determining a fixation area of a left-eye screen and a fixation area of a right-eye screen according to at least one fixation point position corresponding to the at least one dominant eye;
rendering a first part of a left-eye image to be displayed on the left-eye screen at a first resolution, and rendering a second part of the left-eye image at a second resolution, the first part of the left-eye image being a part of the left-eye image to be displayed in the fixation area of the left-eye screen, the second part of the left-eye image being a part of the left-eye image other than the first part, and the first resolution being greater than the second resolution;
rendering a first part of a right-eye image to be displayed on the right-eye screen at a third resolution, and rendering a second part of the right-eye image at a fourth resolution, the first part of the right-eye image being a part of the right-eye image to be displayed in the fixation area of the right-eye screen, the second part of the right-eye image being a part of the right-eye image other than the first part, and the third resolution being greater than the fourth resolution; wherein
a resolution of an image to be displayed in a fixation area of the respective screen is greater than resolutions of images to be displayed in other areas of the left-eye screen and the right-eye screen;
wherein the at least one dominant eye includes one dominant eye, the dominant eye being the left eye of the user, the image processing method further comprises: reducing the first resolution according to a level of the dominant eye to obtain the third resolution, and reducing the second resolution according to the level of the dominant eye to obtain the fourth resolution; or
the at least one dominant eye includes one dominant eye, the dominant eye being the right eye of the user, the image processing method further comprises: reducing the third resolution according to a level of the dominant eye to obtain the first resolution, and reducing the fourth resolution according to the level of the dominant eye to obtain the second resolution.
