Claim 10:
11. A method for evaluating a plurality of images originating from multiple different sources and for selecting specific images from said plurality in order to generate an overlaid image, said method comprising:
obtaining a first set of system camera images from a system camera, wherein the system camera operates at a first frame per second (FPS) rate;
obtaining a second set of external camera images from an external camera that is detached from the system camera, wherein the external camera operates at a second FPS rate that is different from the first FPS rate;
accessing a set of rules that govern a selection process for selecting, from among the first set of system camera images, a specific system camera image and for selecting, from among the second set of external camera images, a specific external camera image, the selected specific system camera image and the specific external camera image being designated for use in generating an overlaid image;
performing the selection process using the accessed set of rules, wherein performance of the selection process results in the specific system camera image and the specific external camera image being selected;
generating the overlaid image by overlaying and aligning content obtained from the selected external camera image onto the selected system camera image; and
displaying the overlaid image in a head mounted device (HMD).
