Image display using rotated frame of reference

Abstract:

Examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices, head-mounted display (HMD) devices, and methods for displaying an image via a display device. In one example, a method for displaying an image via a display device comprises receiving an original frame of reference, determining a rotated device orientation of the display device, and modifying the original frame of reference to a rotated frame of reference based on the rotated device orientation. The method further comprises sampling data describing a virtual world at the rotated frame of reference to produce an intermediate image frame, generating a final image frame by back-rotating the intermediate image frame to the original frame of reference, and displaying the final image frame via the display device.
