1. A display apparatus comprising:
eye-tracking means;
at least one display device;
at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
process eye-tracking data, collected by the eye-tracking means, to detect a beginning time (T1) of a saccade (S) of a user's eyes;
control the at least one display device to display a convoluted image for a first time period (P1) during the saccade;
predict a saccade end time (T2), wherein the first time period (P1) ends before the predicted saccade end time;
control the at least one display device to display the convoluted image for a second time period (P2) starting before the predicted saccade end time to extend the saccade until an extended saccade end time (T3); and
control the at least one display device to display an output image after the second time period, wherein the output image is an unconvoluted image.
