Abstract: In one implementation, a method of pipelined blending an image with virtual content is performed by a device including an image sensor, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes capturing, with the image sensor, a first portion of an image of a physical environment. The method includes warping the first portion of the image of the physical environment to generate a warped first portion. The method includes blending the warped first portion with a first portion of virtual content to generate a blended first portion. The method includes displaying, on the display, the blended first portion. The method includes capturing, with the image sensor, a second portion of the image of the physical environment. The method includes warping the second portion of the image of the physical environment to generate a warped second portion. The method includes blending the warped second portion with a second portion of the virtual content to generate a blended second portion. The method includes displaying, on the display, the blended second portion, wherein displaying the blended first portion is initiated before blending the warped second portion is completed.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein improve the appearance of captured video by accounting for motion-induced blur, noise, lighting, and/or other factors related to the appearance of video captured by rotating or otherwise moving wearable electronic device. Some implementations reduce or eliminate camera motion blur during video capture by dynamically adjusting the exposure used to capture the video based on user motion. For example, exposure may be reduced to reduce the amount of blur during motion. Since such a reduced exposure captures a lesser amount of light, gain may be increased such that the captured video maintains a relatively constant image brightness in spite of the changing exposure over time.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that can transfer data and power between an optical-communication device and an electronic device without the need for electrical contacts on the electronic device. An example can include infrared transmitters and receivers in both the optical-communication device and the electronic device for optical communication. This can further include a coil in the optical-communication device that can be powered to inductively induce currents in a corresponding coil in the electronic device to charge a battery. One or more attachment components, such as magnets or magnetic elements, can be used to secure the optical-communication device to the electronic device. The optical-communication device to the electronic device can each include an alignment magnet or magnetic element. Either or both the optical-communication device and the electronic device can include digital signal processors in their receive paths to compensate for distortions and artifacts in the optical transmission and receive paths.
