    摘要: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that dynamically-size zones used in foveated rendering of content that includes text. In some implementations, this involves adjusting the size of a first zone, e.g., a foveated gaze zone (FGZ), based on the apparent size of text from a viewpoint. For example, a FGZ may be increased or decreased in width, height, diameter, or other size attribute based on determining an angle subtended by one or more individual glyphs of the text from the viewpoint. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that select a text-rendering algorithm based on a relationship between (a) the rendering resolution of a portion of an image corresponding to a part of a glyph and (b) the size that the part of the glyph will occupy in the image.

    摘要: One exemplary implementation involves performing operations at an electronic device with one or more processors and a computer-readable storage medium. The device establishes a wireless communication link with a host device. The device receives, from the host device, a left eye frame and a right eye frame via a sequence of interleaved left eye frame transmissions and right eye frame transmissions. The device loads the left eye frame into a left eye display device and loads the right eye frame into a right eye display device on the electronic device, where the loading includes sequentially loading left eye frame portions and right eye frame portions as the sequence of interleaved left eye frame transmissions and right eye frame transmissions is received. The device then concurrently displays the left eye frame and the right eye frame at the electronic device. The device switches data transmissions schemes according to wireless communication link quality and eye gaze tracking.

    摘要: An electronic device may have a camera and a display. The display may be configured to display virtual reality content for a user in which no real-world content from the camera is displayed or mixed reality content in which a combination of real-world content from the camera and overlaid virtual reality content is displayed. Control circuitry in the device may adjust the display and camera while transitioning between virtual reality and mixed reality modes. The control circuitry may reconfigure the camera to exhibit a desired frame rate immediately upon transitioning from virtual reality mode to mixed reality mode. Transitions between modes may be accompanied by smooth transitions between frame rates to avoid visible artifacts on the display. The camera frame rate may be synchronized to the display frame rate for at least part of the transition between the virtual reality and mixed reality modes.
