Dynamic uniformity correction
In one embodiment, a computing system may determine, a predicted eye position of a viewer corresponding to a future time moment for displaying a frame. The system may generate a first correction map for the frame based on the predicted eye position of the viewer. The system may retrieve one or more second correction maps used for correcting one or more proceeding frames. The system may generate a third correction map based on the first correction map generated based on the predicted eye position of the viewer and the one or more second correction maps used for correcting the one or more proceeding frames. The system may adjust pixel values of the frame based at least on the third correction map. The system may output the frame with the adjusted pixel values to a display.
ILLUMINATION LAYOUT FOR COMPACT PROJECTION SYSTEM
