Abstract:
A special-purpose hardware device for achieving intraframe image processing in head-mounted displays may include an image-correction component that receives a single image frame destined to be displayed for presentation to a user wearing a head-mounted-display system. The image-correction component may also receive user-motion data indicating that the user wearing the head-mounted-display system has made at least one movement since generation of the single image frame. The image-correction component may further perform hardware-accelerated intraframe processing operations on the single image frame in accordance with the user-motion data to compensate for the movement made by the user on a line-by-line basis. In addition, the special-purpose hardware device may include a frame-output interface that feeds the single image frame to a display device of the head-mounted-display system to facilitate displaying the single image frame for presentation to the user. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
