Simultaneous Passthrough and Recording Capabilities on a Head-Mounted Device

A method of operating a head-mounted device, comprising:

• with one or more cameras, acquiring a first image;
• warping the first image to produce reprojected versions of the first image;
• with one or more displays, outputting the reprojected versions of the first image;
• while the reprojected versions of the first image are being displayed to the user, acquiring bracketed images without outputting the bracketed images on the one or more displays;
• and
• generating recorded content based at least partly on the bracketed images.

A method of operating a head-mounted device, comprising:

• with one or more cameras, acquiring a first image and bracketed images associated with the first image;
• with a recording pipeline, storing recorded content generated based at least partly on the bracketed images;
• warping at least one of the bracketed images to produce at least one warped bracketed image;
• enhancing the first image based on the at least one warped bracketed image to produce an enhanced image;
• and
• with one or more displays, outputting reprojected versions of the enhanced image without outputting the bracketed images.
