1. A method comprising:
determining a display time for an image;
determining gaze data of an eye of a user at a plurality of times prior to the display time;
predicting, at a prediction time prior to the display time and after the display time is determined, a point of regard of a user at the display time based on the gaze data and based on a semantic analysis of content of the image; and
displaying, at the display time, the image such that a first part of the image in a first area around the point of regard is displayed according to a first parameter value of an image quality parameter and a second part of the image in at least one second area outside the first area is displayed according to a second parameter value of the image quality parameter.
