A display system for virtual reality and a method of driving the same are disclosed. In the display system for virtual reality, auxiliary image data, the number of which is smaller than the number of auxiliary sub pixels disposed in an auxiliary view region, is transmitted to a display device and the same auxiliary image data is supplied to sub-pixels of an auxiliary view region in which a user eye is not accurately focused. Accordingly, the display system for virtual reality reduces a volume of auxiliary image data supplied to the auxiliary view region to overcome latency.
