Abstract
In one aspect, an HMD is disclosed that provides a technique for generating a composite image representing the view of a wearer of the HMD. The HMD may include a display and a front-facing camera, and may be configured to perform certain functions. For instance, the HMD may be configured to make a determination that a trigger event occurred and responsively both generate a first image that is indicative of content displayed on the display, and cause the camera to capture a second image that is indicative of a real-world field-of-view associated with the HMD. Further, the HMD may be configured to generate a composite image that combines the generated first image and the captured second image.
