Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes by one or more computing devices, accessing an image including a hand of a user of a head-mounted display at a first time. The method includes generating, from at least the image, a virtual object representation of the hand, defined in a virtual environment that includes at least one other virtual object. The method includes rendering a first image of the virtual environment comprising a first portion of the hand of the user at a first frame rate, and determining a second viewpoint of the user at a second time. The method includes rendering a second image of the virtual environment comprising a second portion of the hand of the user at a second frame rate. The method includes providing, to a set of light emitters of the head-mounted display, instructions to display the second image.
