Abstract: Apparatus, systems, or methods for mixed reality are disclosed herein. An apparatus may include an optical structure, a display structure, and a controller coupled to the optical structure and the display structure. The optical structure may be controlled by a first electrical signal to act as a transparent glass to present a natural view, or to act as a magnifying glass to present a virtual view. The display structure may be controlled by a second electrical signal to act as an opaque display or a transparent display. In addition, the controller may control the apparatus to operate in at least an AR mode to interlace the natural view and the virtual view. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for virtual reality display include a computing device coupled to a head-mounted display device. The head-mounted display includes a display panel, a pixel emission controller, and a pancake lens assembly. The display panel includes a display surface that emits light as multiple pixels. The pancake lens assembly includes folded optics to direct light to an eye box. The pixel emission controller applies an emission profile to each pixel of the light as a function of the position on the display surface of the corresponding pixel. The emission profile is determined based on an optical coupling between the position on the display surface through the pancake lens assembly to the eye box. The beam width of each pixel may decrease and the beam angle relative to an optical axis may increase as distance from the optical axis increases. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for power efficient display synchronization are disclosed. A compute device may be connected to two display devices. The compute device may send image data to be displayed on each of the display devices in a burst mode, sending the image data in less time than the time between frames. The compute device may then enter a low-power state prior to sending the next image to the display devices. Before sending the next image to the display devices, the compute device may send a synchronization signal, which the display devices may use to synchronize the timing of displaying images between the two display devices.

Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a selector. A selection signal may be provided to the selector to select a first synchronization signal as a control signal when the first synchronization signal is available, otherwise a second first synchronization signal as the control signal. The first or the second synchronization signal may synchronize a first or second display content received by a first or second display device with a first or a second display refresh rate, respectively. The control signal may be provided to a controller to control the second display content received by the second display device. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for performing a simplified pixel shifting scheme on a display (e.g., an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display) are disclosed herein. An electronic device presents, on the display, a virtual display having an active area and a margin area surrounding the active area. The active area is to display content (e.g., image data, video data, etc.), and an amount of pixels in the virtual display is greater than an amount of pixels in the active area. The electronic device is also to shift the pixels of the active area within the virtual display according to a pixel shifting technique and update a touch coordinate offset for the touch screen interface based on the shift.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., non-transitory physical storage media) to implement foveated image rendering for head-mounted displays device are disclosed herein. Example head-mounted display devices disclosed herein include a frame buffer to store first and second image data for an image frame, the first image data having a first resolution and the second image data having a second resolution lower than the first resolution, the first image data and the second image data obtained from a host device via a data interface. Disclosed example head-mounted display devices also include a device controller to up-sample the second image data based on first metadata from the host device to generate up-sampled second image data having the first resolution, and combine the first image data and the up-sampled second image data based on second metadata from the host device to render a foveated image frame on a display.
