User interest-based enhancement of media quality

Abstract

A mechanism is described for facilitating interest-based enhancement in media quality according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes receiving eye tracking information from a wearable computing device, where the eye tracking information contains data relating to pupils of eyes of a user having access to the wearable computing device. The method may further include enhancing quality of at least contents of media, if a size of a pupil is determined to have been altered due to the user's interest in the contents, where the media having the enhanced contents is encoded and communicated back to the wearable computing device to be rendered at the wearable computing device.

         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further to determine whether the size of the pupil is altered due to the user having interest in contents of media being rendered at the wearable computing device, wherein the media includes at least one of one or more images and one or more videos. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein whether the size of the pupil is altered due to the user's interest or other factors is determined based on a psychophysical state of the user. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the psychophysical state is obtained from evaluating one or more of display brightness, visual context, aural context, biometrics, and device interaction context, wherein the other factors include sudden brightness, change in weather, and touch of humans or pets. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein one or more processors are further to create a region of interest (ROI) that encompassed the contents, wherein the enhanced media contains at least the ROI. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wearable computing device comprises a head-mounted display to perform tracking of the eyes to obtain the eye tracking information, wherein the wearable computing device is further to decode and render the media having the enhanced contents. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , one or more processors are further to facilitate communication with the wearable computing device over one or more networks including one or more of a cloud network, a proximity network, and the Internet. 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 receiving eye tracking information from a wearable computing device, wherein the eye tracking information contains data relating to pupils of eyes of a user; and   enhancing quality of at least contents of media, if a size of a pupil is determined to have been altered due to the user's interest in the contents, wherein the media having the enhanced contents is encoded and communicated back to the wearable computing device to be rendered at the wearable computing device.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising determining whether the size of the pupil is altered due to the user having interest in contents of media being rendered at the wearable computing device, wherein the media includes at least one of one or more images and one or more videos. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein whether the size of the pupil is altered due to the user's interest or other factors is determined based on a psychophysical state of the user. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the psychophysical state is obtained from evaluating one or more of display brightness, visual context, aural context, biometrics, and device interaction context, wherein the other factors include sudden brightness, change in weather, and touch of humans or pets. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising creating a region of interest (ROI) that encompassed the contents, wherein the enhanced media contains at least the ROI. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the wearable computing device comprises a head-mounted display to perform tracking of the eyes to obtain the eye tracking information, wherein the wearable computing device is further to decode and render the media having the enhanced contents. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising facilitating communication with the wearable computing device over one or more networks including one or more of a cloud network, a proximity network, and the Internet. 
     
     
         15 . At least one machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to facilitate operations comprising:
 receiving eye tracking information from a wearable computing device, wherein the eye tracking information contains data relating to pupils of eyes of a user; and   enhancing quality of at least contents of media, if a size of a pupil is determined to have been altered due to the user's interest in the contents, wherein the media having the enhanced contents is encoded and communicated back to the wearable computing device to be rendered at the wearable computing device.   
     
     
         16 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the size of the pupil is altered due to the user having interest in contents of media being rendered at the wearable computing device, wherein the media includes at least one of one or more images and one or more videos. 
     
     
         17 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein whether the size of the pupil is altered due to the user's interest or other factors is determined based on a psychophysical state of the user. 
     
     
         18 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the psychophysical state is obtained from evaluating one or more of display brightness, visual context, aural context, biometrics, and device interaction context, wherein the other factors include sudden brightness, change in weather, and touch of humans or pets.
