Method and device for latency reduction of an image processing pipeline

A device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory memory;
• an image capture device including an image sensor;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
• obtain, via the image capture device, first image data corresponding to a physical environment;
• render a first slice of virtual content associated with a graphical environment;
• and
• composite a first portion of second image data with the rendered first slice of virtual content to generate a first composited slice of the graphical environment.
