1. A display system comprising:
a display, said display configured to project light into a user's eye to display augmented reality image content to a vision field of the user, at least a portion of said display being transparent and disposed at a location in front of the user's eye when a user operates the system such that said transparent portion transmits light from a portion of the environment in front of the user to the user's eye to provide a view of said portion of the environment in front of the user and said display;
one or more sensors;
processing electronics in communication with the display and the one or more sensors; and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processing electronics, cause the processing electronics to perform operations comprising:
detecting a frequency of change in gaze direction between a first gaze direction of the user and a second gaze direction of the user;
detecting increased user focus on an object within a vision field of the user for the second gaze direction, wherein the object is within a peripheral location of the vision field of the user for the first gaze direction; and
altering user perception of the object within the vision field of the user for the first gaze direction based at least in part on detecting the increased user focus on the object in the second gaze direction and on the frequency of change in gaze direction exceeding a minimum frequency of change in gaze direction, and
wherein altering user perception of the object within the vision field of the user for the first gaze direction comprises generating image content within the vision field of the user for the first gaze direction such that the object appears to move from the peripheral location of the vision field for the first gaze direction to a central location of the vision field for the first gaze direction.
