Low latency rendering of objects

In a system comprising a computing environment receiving pose data from a capture device, a method of the computing environment rendering objects in a video frame on a display associated with the computing environment, the method comprising:

• a) generating a thread for a graphics processor to render the objects in the frame, the thread including:
• i) render commands and pose information for a first set of objects, ii) render commands and a buffer for receipt of pose information for an object of a second set of objects, and iii) a lock command corresponding to the object of the second set of objects;
• b) rendering objects from the first set of objects;
• c) inserting pose information into the buffer for the object of the second set of objects, the pose information indicating a position of the object of the second set of objects;
• and
• d) pausing rendering of objects in the event the lock command is encountered before the pose information is inserted into the buffer in said step c).

A system for rendering three-dimensional objects on a display, comprising:

• a capture device for capturing image data relating to an object within a field of view of the capture device;
• and
• a computing environment, the computing environment including:
• a first processor for generating i) pose information for rendering objects in a given position, ii) render commands defining appearance aspects of the objects rendered per the pose information, and iii) a lock command associated with a low latency resource object for preventing rendering of the low latency resource object until the object has been updated with pose information,
• a second processor for rendering a set of non-low latency resource objects and the low latency resource object in a frame, the non-low latency resource objects being rendered in the frame with pose information that is older than pose information for rendering the low latency resource objects in the frame.
