Abstract

In various implementations, a method of presenting video streams at a head-mountable device (HMD) includes generating a first video stream at a first frame rate for a first display portion. In some implementations, the first frame rate indicates a rate at which frames are presented by the first display portion. In various implementations, the method includes generating a second video stream at a second frame rate for a second display portion. In some implementations, the second frame rate indicates a rate at which frames are presented by the second display portion. In some implementations, the second frame rate is within a threshold relative to the first frame rate. In various implementations, the method includes temporally shifting the second video stream relative to the first video stream so that a majority of refresh times of the first display portion are different from refresh times of the second display portion.
