Mixed reality system with color virtual content warping and method of generating virtual content using same

A system for warping multi-field color virtual content for sequential projection, comprising:

• a warping unit to receive an application frame and an application pose, the warping unit comprising:
• a pose estimator to:
• determine a first pose for a first warp of the application frame at a first estimated display time;
• and
• determine a second pose for a second warp of the first warped frame at a second estimated display time;
• a transform unit to:
• perform a first warp of the application frame using the application pose and the estimated first pose to generate a first warped frame;
• and
• perform a second warp of the first warp frame using the estimated second pose to generate a second warped frame.

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a method for warping multi-field color virtual content for sequential projection, the method comprising:

• obtaining an application frame and an application pose;
• estimating a first pose for a first warp of the application frame at a first estimated display time;
• performing a first warp of the application frame using the application pose and the estimated first pose to generate a first warped frame;
• estimating a second pose for a second warp of the first warped frame at a second estimated display time;
• and
• performing a second warp of the first warp frame using the estimated second pose to generate a second warped frame.
