Abstract
A head-mounted device is provided that includes a variety of subsystems for generating extended reality content, displaying the extended reality content, and recording the extended reality content. The device can include a graphics rendering pipeline configured to render virtual content, tracking sensors configured to obtain user tracking information, a virtual content compositor configured to composite virtual frames based on the virtual content and the user tracking information, cameras configured to capture a video feed, a media merging compositor configured to overlay the composited virtual frames and the video feed to output merged video frames having a first frame rate for display, and a recording pipeline configured to record content having a second frame rate different than the first frame rate. The recording pipeline can record content exhibiting a higher quality than the content being displayed. A portion of the recorded content containing sensitive information can optionally be blurred.
