Abstract

A system for content upsampling comprises a console and a head-mounted display (HMD). The console can select content for presentation and provide the content at a first frame rate. The HMD outputs fast calibration data comprising one or more intermediate estimated positions of a reference point on the HMD. The HMD estimates future positions of the HMD using the fast calibration data, and generates synthetic frames using frames from the content and the future positions of the HMD. The HMD then upsamples the content from the first frame rate to a second frame using the synthetic frames to generate augmented content, wherein the second frame rate is faster than the first frame rate. The HMD presents the augmented content at the second frame rate via an electronic display.
