A display system defining an expected position for a user with respect to a screen having first and second segments positioned so as to never simultaneously fall at least partially within a targeted field of view when the user is at the expected position, the system comprising: an image generator paired with a first projector covering the first segment and a second projector covering the second segment, the image generator being configured to generate a first image to be projected on the first segment and a second image to be projected on the second segment; a first module for determining that the first segment falls at least partially within the targeted field of view; and a second module for controlling hardware resources of the image generator to prioritize the generation of the first image when the first segment falls at least partially within the targeted field of view.

Method and system for balancing the load of an image generator

A system for generating an augmented reality image using an initial image comprising a reference element, the system comprising: an image analyzer for identifying the reference element within the initial image; an image generating unit for: generating a simulation image of a scene of a virtual environment based on the identified reference element, an outline of the simulation image corresponding to the reference outline; overlaying the initial image with the simulation image to obtain the augmented reality image; and providing the augmented reality image for display.

Method and system for generating an augmented reality image

Method and system for synchronizing video output towards a single display frequency comprising providing a shared reference signal for synchronizing, at the single display frequency, video output between two or more image generator processors each driving at least one independent video card. Each of the video cards supports on-the-fly image refresh rate adaptation based on responsiveness from the corresponding image generator processor. The method also comprises, at each one of the image generator processors, artificially affecting, in real-time, image generation rendering speed during a next frame generation processing to trigger the on-the-fly image refresh rate adaptation by the one image generator processor's video card for proactively scheduling refresh of an image corresponding to the next frame by the one image generator processor's video card, thereby aligning the refresh of the image to the shared reference signal while avoiding manipulation of video card's memory registers by the one image generator processor.
