1. An electronic device comprising a display and control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is configured to:
obtain first image data in a first channel, second image data in a second channel, and third image data in a third channel, wherein the first image data, the second image data, and the third image data each has a first resolution;
based on point-of-gaze information received from a gaze-tracking system, compress the first image data by at least compressing a first subset of the first image data that corresponds to a first portion of the display to have a second resolution that is less than the first resolution; and
based on the point-of-gaze information, compress the second image data by at least compressing a second subset of the second image data that corresponds to a second portion of the display to have the second resolution, wherein the second portion of the display is larger than the first portion of the display.
