Pan-warping and modifying sub-frames with an up-sampled frame rate

1. A method comprising:

accessing a first rendered frame generated at a first frame rate;

generating, based on the first rendered frame, one or more sub-frames at a second frame rate that is higher than the first frame rate, wherein a first sub-frame of the one or more sub-frames is generated by:

determining a displacement measure associated with an anticipated movement of an optics component for providing output of a display system, wherein first sub-frame is to be perceived by a user using the optics component of the display system; and

applying, based on the displacement measure, one or more transformations to the first rendered frame to generate the first sub-frame; and

outputting the one or more sub-frames for display at the second frame rate, wherein the one or more sub-frames are perceived by the user using the optics component for providing output of the display system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying the one or more transformations further comprises:

determining a magnitude and direction by which the first rendered frame has been displaced; and

electronically shifting the first sub-frame inversely proportional to the magnitude and the direction of the displacement.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a location of one or more malfunctioning light emitters of the display system.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more transformations are based on the location of the one or more malfunctioning light emitters.

accessing a second rendered frame generated at the first frame rate after outputting a threshold number of the one or more sub-frames for display.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anticipated movement of the optics component of the display system was performed at a rate sufficient to cause the displacement caused by the movement to be imperceptible to the user.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more transformations applied to the first rendered frame decrease a degradation of perceived resolution related to the anticipated movement of the optics component.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first rendered frame is generated by a different computing device than the one or more sub-frames.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the computing device that generated the one or more sub-frames is a component of the display system.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors and comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to:

access a first rendered frame generated at a first frame rate;

generate, based on the first rendered frame, one or more sub-frames at a second frame rate that is higher than the first frame rate, wherein a first sub-frame of the one or more sub-frames is generated by:

determining a displacement measure associated with an anticipated movement of an optics component for providing output of a display system, wherein first sub-frame is to be perceived by a user using the optics component of the display system; and

applying, based on the displacement measure, one or more transformations to the first rendered frame to generate the first sub-frame; and

output the one or more sub-frames for display at the second frame rate, wherein the one or more sub-frames are perceived by the user using the optics component for providing output of the display system.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the applying the one or more transformations further comprises:

determining a magnitude and direction by which the first rendered frame has been displaced; and

electronically shifting the first sub-frame inversely proportional to the magnitude and the direction of the displacement.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further operable to when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to:

determine a location of one or more malfunctioning light emitters of the display system.

18. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

access a first rendered frame generated at a first frame rate;

generate, based on the first rendered frame, one or more sub-frames at a second frame rate that is higher than the first frame rate, wherein a first sub-frame of the one or more sub-frames is generated by:

determining a displacement measure associated with an anticipated movement of an optics component for providing output of a display system, wherein first sub-frame is to be perceived by a user using the optics component of the display system; and

applying, based on the displacement measure, one or more transformations to the first rendered frame to generate the first sub-frame; and

output the one or more sub-frames for display at the second frame rate, wherein the one or more sub-frames are perceived by the user using the optics component for providing output of the display system.
