LAST-LEVEL PROJECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for efficient image reprojection in a virtual reality system. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a sensor interface to collect motion data from one or more sensors during a virtual reality session; graphics circuitry to execute graphics program code to render an image frame during the virtual reality session; a processor to generate motion transform data using the motion data, the motion transform data specifying how the image frame is to be adjusted prior to display; a reprojection engine to perform an in-line reprojection of the frame using the motion transform data to generate a reprojected image frame; and display circuitry to display the reprojected frame.
