First Claim
1. An electronic device for providing an augmented reality environment, comprising:
- a control circuit configured to acquire a rendered image associated with a first predicted pose of the electronic device and identify a first homographic transformation to be applied to a first portion of the rendered image based on a difference between the first predicted pose and a second predicted pose of the electronic device, the control circuit configured to generate a first portion of an updated image by applying the first homographic transformation to the first portion of the rendered image; and
a see-through display configured to display a second portion of the rendered image and the first portion of the updated image at the same time, the see-through display comprises an integrated circuit with a pixel array and the control circuit, the see-through display configured to store the first portion of the rendered image within the pixel array and generate the first portion of the updated image using pixel interconnections between pixels within the pixel array to shift pixel values within the pixel array.

Abstract
Methods for generating and displaying images associated with one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment at a frame rate that is greater than a rendering frame rate are described. The rendering frame rate may correspond with the minimum time to render images associated with a pose of a head-mounted display device (HMD). In some embodiments, the HMD may determine a predicted pose associated with a future position and orientation of the HMD, generate a pre-rendered image based on the predicted pose, determine an updated pose associated with the HMD subsequent to generating the pre-rendered image, generate an updated image based on the updated pose and the pre-rendered image, and display the updated image on the HMD. The updated image may be generated via a homographic transformation and/or a pixel offset adjustment of the pre-rendered image.
