    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of scene camera retargeting is performed by a head-mounted device (HMD) including one or more processors, non-transitory memory, a scene camera, and a display. The method includes capturing, using the scene camera, an image of a scene. The method includes determining, using the one or more processors, a depth of the scene. The method further includes transforming, using the one or more processors, the image of the scene based on the depth and a difference between a point-of-view of the scene camera and a point-of-view of a user. The method further includes displaying, on the display, the transformed image.

    Abstract: In various implementations, a method includes obtaining a first frame that is characterized by a first resolution associated with a first memory allocation. In some implementations, the method includes down-converting the first frame from the first resolution to a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution initially defining the first frame in order to produce a reference frame. In some implementations, the second resolution is associated with a second memory allocation that is less than a target memory allocation derived from the first memory allocation. In some implementations, the method includes storing the reference frame in a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining a second frame that is characterized by the first resolution. In some implementations, the method includes performing an error correction operation on the second frame based on the reference frame stored in the non-transitory memory.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that assess calibration between eye tracking and other components of a head-mounted device (HMD) using another device, such as a mobile device. For example, an example process may include obtaining first sensor data captured by a first sensor of a first device, the first sensor data including a representation of a portion of a second device, obtaining second sensor data captured by a second sensor of the second device, detecting a position of the first sensor of the first device based on the second sensor data, and assessing a calibration between the portion of the second device and the sensor of the second device based on the first sensor data and the detected position of the first sensor.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of generating an image is performed by a device including one or more processors and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating a first resolution function based on a formula with a set of variables having a first set of values. The method includes generating a first image based on first content and the first resolution function. The method includes detecting a resolution constraint. The method includes generating a second resolution function based on the formula with the set of variables having a second set of values, wherein the second resolution function has a summation value that satisfies the resolution constraint. The method includes generating a second image based on second content and the second resolution function.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes receiving a warped image representing simulated reality (SR) content (e.g., to be displayed in a display space), the warped image having a plurality of pixels at respective locations uniformly spaced in a grid pattern in a warped space, wherein the plurality of pixels are respectively associated with a plurality of respective pixel values and a plurality of respective scaling factors indicating a plurality of respective resolutions at a plurality of respective locations of the SR content (e.g., in the display space). The method includes processing the warped image in the warped space based on the plurality of respective scaling factors to generate a processed warped image and transmitting the processed warped image.

    Abstract: Various implementations provided herein provide content on an optical see-through display using enhanced local contrast. In some implementations, the enhanced local contrast may be used to provide an apparent reduction in brightness (e.g., a shadow) or other visual effect. For example, the appearance of a virtual shadow of a virtual cup on a real table of a physical environment can be provided even though the brightness of the table cannot be reduced. The appearance of the shadow may be provided by selectively enhancing contrast that the user cognitively interprets to see a relatively “darker” area where the shadow should be (e.g., via an optical illusion/effect).
