Hybrid rendering for a wearable display attached to a tethered computer

This invention describes a system for a wearable display, like a VR headset connected to a computer, to intelligently adjust its visual quality. When the wearer moves quickly, the system renders a high-resolution image to maintain clarity. If the wearer is moving slowly or is still, it switches to a lower-resolution image, saving processing power and potentially extending battery life.

Why it matters: Since 2020, the resolution and computational demands of wearable displays have significantly increased. This makes dynamic rendering optimizations, which balance visual quality with processing efficiency, more critical for modern VR/AR systems.
