Low latency image display on multi-display device

A see-through head-mounted display device, comprising;

• a graphics processor;
• a left-eye display comprising a left-eye image producing element;
• a right-eye display comprising a right-eye image producing element;
• and
• a storage subsystem comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable to:
• process a left-eye image via the graphics processor;
• display the left-eye image via the left-eye display and not display the left-eye image via the right-eye display;
• while displaying the left-eye image, process a right-eye image via the graphics processor;
• and
• display the right-eye image via the right-eye display and not display the right-eye image via the left-eye display such that display of the right-eye image is temporally offset from display of the left-eye image.

In a see-through head-mounted display device comprising a left-eye display having a left-eye image producing element and a right-eye display having a right-eye image producing element, a method of displaying images, the method comprising receiving at a graphics processor a left-eye image;

• processing the left-eye image via the graphics processor;
• sending the left-eye image to the left-eye image producing element image producing element while not sending the left-eye image to the right-eye image producing element;
• providing light to the left-eye image producing element and to the right-eye image producing element;
• receiving at the graphics processor a right-eye image;
• while displaying the left-eye image via the left-eye image producing element, processing the right-eye image via the graphics processor;
• sending the right-eye image to the right-eye image producing element while not sending the right-eye image to the left-eye image producing element;
• and
• providing light to the right-eye image producing element and to the left-eye image producing element.
