    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: 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: A method includes obtaining rendered image data that includes a representation of an object for display using a see-through display. The see-through display permits ambient light from a physical environment through the see-through display. The method includes sensing a plurality of light superposition characteristic values associated with the ambient light that quantifies the ambient light. The method includes determining a plurality of display correction values associated with the electronic device based on the plurality of light superposition characteristic values and predetermined display characteristics of the representation of the object. The method includes generating, from the rendered image data, display data for the see-through display in accordance with the plurality of display correction values in order to satisfy the predetermined display characteristics of the representation of the object within a performance threshold.
