A head-mounted display, HMD, system comprising: a HMD (100; 500) including a display panel having an array of pixels; an eye tracking system; a head tracking system; a processor; and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the HMD system to: predict, based at least in part on eye tracking data generated by the eye tracking system, a location on the display panel where a user wearing the HMD will be looking during an illumination time period, wherein individual subsets of the pixels are illuminated in sequence over the illumination time period to present an image on the display panel; determine a time, within the illumination time period, at which an individual subset of the pixels that corresponds to the location on the display panel will be illuminated; predict, based at least in part on head tracking data generated by the head tracking system, a pose that the HMD will be in at the time; send pose data indicative of the pose to an application for rendering a frame corresponding to the image; receive, from the application, pixel data for the frame; apply re-projection adjustments to the pixel data for the frame to obtain modified pixel data associated with a re-projected frame; and present the image on the display panel based at least in part on the modified pixel data, wherein the individual subsets of the pixels are illuminated in the sequence over the illumination time period during presentation of the image on the display panel. a HMD (100; 500) including a display panel having an array of pixels; an eye tracking system; a head tracking system; a processor; and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the HMD system to: predict, based at least in part on eye tracking data generated by the eye tracking system, a location on the display panel where a user wearing the HMD will be looking during an illumination time period, wherein individual subsets of the pixels are illuminated in sequence over the illumination time period to present an image on the display panel; determine a time, within the illumination time period, at which an individual subset of the pixels that corresponds to the location on the display panel will be illuminated; predict, based at least in part on head tracking data generated by the head tracking system, a pose that the HMD will be in at the time; send pose data indicative of the pose to an application for rendering a frame corresponding to the image; receive, from the application, pixel data for the frame; apply re-projection adjustments to the pixel data for the frame to obtain modified pixel data associated with a re-projected frame; and present the image on the display panel based at least in part on the modified pixel data, wherein the individual subsets of the pixels are illuminated in the sequence over the illumination time period during presentation of the image on the display panel. predict, based at least in part on eye tracking data generated by the eye tracking system, a location on the display panel where a user wearing the HMD will be looking during an illumination time period, wherein individual subsets of the pixels are illuminated in sequence over the illumination time period to present an image on the display panel; determine a time, within the illumination time period, at which an individual subset of the pixels that corresponds to the location on the display panel will be illuminated; predict, based at least in part on head tracking data generated by the head tracking system, a pose that the HMD will be in at the time; send pose data indicative of the pose to an application for rendering a frame corresponding to the image; receive, from the application, pixel data for the frame; apply re-projection adjustments to the pixel data for the frame to obtain modified pixel data associated with a re-projected frame; and present the image on the display panel based at least in part on the modified pixel data, wherein the individual subsets of the pixels are illuminated in the sequence over the illumination time period during presentation of the image on the display panel.
