Systems and methods for correcting color separation in field-sequential displays

A method for displaying a video to a user, comprising:

• rendering an original frame at a processor, wherein the processor is in communication with an eye buffer, wherein the eye buffer is configured to store a frame of the video;
• calculating a user movement compensation based on a field-sequential display (“FSD”) color channel delay and user movements based on a difference in a user position determined between a prior frame and the original frame;
• calculating a virtual content movement compensation based on the FSD color channel delay and virtual content movements, the virtual content movements based on a first difference in virtual content position of a first block and a second difference in virtual content position of a second block, the first and second differences determined between the prior frame and the original frame:
• re-sampling the original frame into a corrected frame based on the user movement compensation and the virtual content movement compensation;
• and
• communicating the corrected frame to the eye buffer for communication to a first FSD configured to sequentially display a plurality of color channels to the user for display.

A apparatus for displaying a video to a user, comprising:

• a first means for sequentially displaying a plurality of color channels;
• means for storing a frame of the video, the storage means being in communication with the first displaying means;
• and
• means for processing in communication with the storage means, the processing means configured to,
• render an original frame,
• calculate a user movement compensation based on a FSD color channel delay and user movements based on a difference in a user position determined between a prior frame and the original frame,
• calculate a virtual content movement compensation based on the FSD color channel delay and virtual content movements, the virtual content movements based on a first difference in virtual content position of a first block and a second difference in virtual content position of a second block, the first and second differences determined between the prior frame and the original frame,
• re-sample the original frame into a corrected frame based on the user movement compensation and the virtual content movement compensation, and
• communicate the corrected frame to the storage means for display on the first displaying means to the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to execute a method for displaying a video to a user, the method comprising:

• rendering an original frame at a processor, wherein the processor is in communication with an eye buffer, wherein the eye buffer is configured to store a frame of the video;
• calculating a user movement compensation based on a field-sequential display (“FSD”) color channel delay and user movements based on a difference in a user position determined between a prior frame and the original frame;
• re-sampling the original frame into a corrected frame based on the user movement compensation;
• communicating the corrected frame to the eye buffer for communication to a first FSD configured to sequentially display a plurality of color channels to the user for display;
• calculating a virtual content movement compensation based on the FSD color channel delay and virtual content movements based on a first difference in virtual content position of a first block and a second difference in virtual content position of a second block determined between the prior frame and the original frame;
• further re-sampling the original frame into the corrected frame based on the virtual content movement compensation;
• and
• communicating a second corrected frame to a second FSD configured to sequentially display the plurality of color channels, wherein the first and second FSDs are configured to display a 3D video to the user.
