In some example embodiments, a chronology of images is received by a peripheral sequencing system. The system divides each image into image portions and generates sequences of image portions to recreate the images based on arrangement data. The system then causes a high-speed display of each sequence of images such that they appear simultaneous to a viewer. In some embodiments, the projection is transmitted to a shifting optical element such as a rotating micromirror that propagates a display to a user. In some embodiments, the system further detects and corrects for image and environmental distortions. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus of a device comprising: an augmented reality (AR) display, virtual reality (VR), or an mixed reality (MR) display; at least one processor of a machine; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: generating arrangement data that indicates an arrangement of image portions of an image, the image portions being along a horizontal range, the image portions being over a full visual range of a user view, and the image portions comprising a first image portion depicting an external environment outside a visual range of a user view, wherein the arrangement data comprises display characteristics; and causing a display, on the AR display, the VR display, or the MR display, of the arrangement of image portions in accordance with the arrangement data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display characteristics comprise display durations for the image portions, wherein a first image portion of the image portions comprises an icon and has a display duration greater than a second image portion of the image portions without the icon. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: dividing the image into the image portions, the image portions arrangeable to recreate the image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display characteristics comprise display durations and wherein the AR display displays a high-speed frame sequence with a shifting orientation configuration, the high-speed frame sequence including the arrangement of image portions in accordance with the display durations. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the operations further comprise: detecting a geometric distortion caused by reflection of the high-speed frame sequence on a transmissive optical element; determining a geometric adjustment value to compensate for the geometric distortion; and adjusting the display of the high-speed frame sequence based on the geometric adjustment value. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4, wherein causing the display, on the AR display, the VR display, or the MR display, of the arrangement of image portions includes reflecting a projection of the high-speed frame sequence off a rotating micromirror, the rotating micromirror having a rotation based on a shifting orientation configuration of the arrangement of the image portions. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the arrangement data further comprises a current orientation of the rotating micromirror. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein causing the display, on the AR display, the VR display, or the MR display, of the arrangement of image portions comprises projecting the arrangement of the image portions through a rotating prism, the rotating prism having a rotation based on the shifting orientation configuration. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the arrangement data comprises a shifting orientation configuration. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the arrangement data further comprises an arrangement of the image portions along a depth range that simulates a depth perspective, and wherein the arrangement of the image portions comprises the arrangement of the image portions along the depth range. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein causing the display, on the AR display, the VR display, or the MR display, of the arrangement of image portions further comprises: detecting a contrast distortion based on sensor data from one or more sensors compared to a coloration of the image portions; determining a contrast adjustment value to compensate for a geometric distortion; and adjusting the display of the image portions based on the contrast adjustment value. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: capturing, using an image capturing device of the device, the first image portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the external environment outside of the visual range of the user view is a back side view, a side view, or a top view. ### Claim 14 A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus of a device, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising: generating arrangement data that indicates an arrangement of image portions of an image, the image portions being along a horizontal range, the image portions being over a full visual range of a user view, and the image portions comprising a first image portion depicting an external environment outside a visual range of a user view, wherein the arrangement data comprises display characteristics; and causing a display, on an augmented reality (AR) display, virtual reality (VR), or an mixed reality (MR) display, of the arrangement of image portions in accordance with the arrangement data. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the display characteristics comprise display durations for the image portions, wherein a first image portion of the image portions comprises an icon and has a display duration greater than a second image portion of the image portions without the icon. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the operations further comprise: dividing the image into the image portions, the image portions arrangeable to recreate the image. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the display characteristics comprise display durations and wherein the AR display displays a high-speed frame sequence with a shifting orientation configuration, the high-speed frame sequence including the arrangement of image portions in accordance with the display durations. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise: detecting a geometric distortion caused by reflection of the high-speed frame sequence on a transmissive optical element; determining a geometric adjustment value to compensate for the geometric distortion; and adjusting the display of the high-speed frame sequence based on the geometric adjustment value. ### Claim 19 A method performed on an apparatus of a device, the method comprising: generating arrangement data that indicates an arrangement of image portions of an image, the image portions being along a horizontal range, the image portions being over a full visual range of a user view, and the image portions comprising a first image portion depicting an external environment outside a visual range of a user view, wherein the arrangement data comprises display characteristics; and causing a display, on an augmented reality (AR) display, virtual reality (VR), or an mixed reality (MR) display, of the arrangement of image portions in accordance with the arrangement data. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the display characteristics comprise display durations for the image portions, wherein a first image portion of the image portions comprises an icon and has a display duration greater than a second image portion of the image portions without the icon.
