A video pass-through computing system includes a head-mounted display device including a display, a camera configured to image a physical scene according to an exposure timing, and an augmented reality control circuit configured to receive a virtual image pixel stream and composite the camera image pixel stream with the virtual image pixel stream to generate a display image pixel stream output to the display, and if a corresponding pixel of the camera image pixel stream is not in temporal synchronization with a pixel of the virtual image pixel stream adjust the exposure timing of the camera.

A user interface (UI) for visualizing search data provides techniques for grouping and organizing aggregate data that shows the categories of topics included in search queries from a large number of individual users. Raw search queries are categorized into one of a number of topical categories. The search queries are assigned to a geographic location based on geolocations of computing devices generating the search queries. The UI presents a map that shows the number of search queries per topical category for each geographic location displayed in the current UI view. As a result of this UI design, a user can easily understand the interaction between geographic location and frequency of search query topics. Trends in the geographic distribution of searches and in the categories of topics searched are also easily understood from this UI design by changing the time range of the search queries displayed.

An augmented reality display device includes a near-eye display configured to present imagery to a user eye. A camera is configured to capture light from a real-world environment and produce output useable to contribute to the imagery presented to the user eye via the near-eye display. The camera includes an aperture configured to receive the light from the real-world environment and an image sensor configured to respond to the light received from the real-world environment by generating sensor output signals useable to produce images on the near-eye display depicting the real-world environment. One or more optical elements provide an optical path for light from the aperture to the image sensor, the optical path having a length that is within a threshold of a distance between the user eye and the aperture of the camera.
