Abstract: A head-mounted device may be paired with an electronic device. In a remote rendering arrangement, content for the head-mounted device may be rendered by the paired electronic device and wirelessly transmitted from the paired electronic device to the head-mounted device to be subsequently displayed. Remote rendering shifts some of the processing burden (and therefore power consumption) for operating the display on the head-mounted device to the paired electronic device. In a pre-rendering scheme, auxiliary views of virtual content may be rendered for a given display frame. Pre-rendering may mitigate artifacts caused by latency. However, pre-rendering may require additional network bandwidth. Therefore, pre-rendering may only be performed when the network strength of the wireless connection between the head-mounted device and the paired electronic device is sufficiently strong.
