According to certain embodiments, foveal array elements of a foveal region of a focal plane array are sampled at a faster sampling rate to yield foveal array data. Peripheral array elements of a peripheral region of the focal plane array are sampled at a slower sampling rate or sparser sampling density to yield peripheral array data. The foveal array data is processed to yield foveal image data for a foveal region of a display. The peripheral array data is processed to yield peripheral image data for a peripheral region of the display.
