Mixed reality system with color virtual content warping and method of generating virtual content using same

A system for warping multi-field color virtual content for sequential projection, comprising:

• a warping unit to receive first and second color fields having different first and second colors for sequential projection, the warping unit comprising:
• a pose estimator to:
• determine first and second times for projection of respective warped first and second color fields;
• predict first and second intermediate head poses;
• and
• predict first and second head poses at respective first and second times;
• and
• a transform unit to:
• generate intermediate warped first and second color fields by warping the respective first and second color fields based on the respective first and second intermediate head poses;
• and
• generate the warped first and second color fields by warping the respective intermediate warped first and second color fields based on the respective first and second head poses,
• wherein generating the warped first and second color fields is less calculation intensive than generating the intermediate warped first and second color fields.

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a method for warping multi-field color virtual content for sequential projection, the method comprising:

• obtaining first and second color fields having different first and second colors;
• predicting a first intermediate head pose;
• predicting a second intermediate head pose;
• generating an intermediate warped first color field by warping the first color field based on the first intermediate head pose;
• generating an intermediate warped second color field by warping the second color field based on the second intermediate head pose;
• determining a first time for projection of a warped first color field;
• determining a second time for projection of a warped second color field;
• predicting a first head pose corresponding to the first time;
• predicting a second head pose corresponding to the second time;
• generating the warped first color field by warping the intermediate warped first color field based on the first head pose;
• and
• generating the warped second color field by warping the intermediate warped second color field based on the head second pose,
• wherein generating the warped first color field is less calculation intensive than generating the intermediate warped first color field, and
• wherein generating the warped second color field is less calculation intensive than generating the intermediate warped second color field.
