Claims29
A head-mounted display (HMD) device, comprising:
- one or more image sensors;
- a primary display that extends across a field-of-view and has a first resolution;
- a secondary display that is physically and electronically coupled to the primary display and has a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying a first portion of a virtual object via the secondary display;
- and
- displaying a second portion of the virtual object via the primary display, wherein displaying the second portion of the virtual object via the primary display includes:
- in accordance with a determination that the second portion of the virtual object is within a predefined distance from an edge of the primary display, applying a visual effect to the second portion of the virtual object while forgoing applying the visual effect to the first portion of the virtual object that is displayed via the secondary display.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a head-mounted display (HMD) device having one or more sensors, a primary display that extends across a field-of-view and has a first resolution, and a secondary display that is physically and electronically coupled to the primary display and has a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying a first portion of a virtual object via the secondary display;
- and
- displaying a second portion of the virtual object via the primary display, wherein displaying the second portion of the virtual object via the primary display includes:
- in accordance with a determination that the second portion of the virtual object is within a predefined distance from an edge of the primary display, applying a visual effect to the second portion of the virtual object while forgoing applying the visual effect to the first portion of the virtual object that is displayed via the secondary display.
A method for displaying a virtual object, the method comprising:
- at a system that is configured to communicate with one or more processors, memory, one or more image sensors, and a head-mounted display (HMD) device, the HMD device including a primary display that extends across a field-of-view and has a first resolution and a secondary display that is physically and electronically coupled to the primary display and has a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution:
- displaying a first portion of a virtual object via the secondary display;
- and
- displaying a second portion of the virtual object via the primary display, wherein displaying the second portion of the virtual object via the primary display includes:
- in accordance with a determination that the second portion of the virtual object is within a predefined distance from an edge of the primary display, applying a visual effect to the second portion of the virtual object while forgoing applying the visual effect to the first portion of the virtual object that is displayed via the secondary display.
