Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing display timing information associated with a display, and determining, based on the display timing information, one or more rendering requirements for a plurality of portions of the display. For each portion of the display, the method may determine a current viewpoint of a user, render, based on the current viewpoint of the user, pixel values for that portion of the display in accordance with the associated rendering requirement, and send the rendered pixel values to be output by the display. The display timing information may include a waveform associated with an oscillation motion of a scanning assembly of the display, and/or a requested size for each portion of the plurality of portions of the display. The rendering requirements may include a timing interval for rendering and sending the pixel values for each of the plurality of portions of the display.
