Original Abstract Submitted
various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that adjust a tone map used to display virtual content in an extended reality (xr) environment based a tone map of pass-through video. for example, a process may obtain virtual content associated with a virtual content tone map relating pixel luminance values to display space luminance values. the process further obtains pass-through video depicting a physical environment. the pass-through video is associated with an image signal processing (isp) tone map relating pixel luminance values of the pass-through video signal to display space luminance values. the process further determines an adjustment adjusting the virtual content tone map based on the isp tone map. the process further displays a view of an xr environment. the view includes the pass-through video displayed using the isp tone map and the virtual content displayed using the virtual content tone map with the adjustment.
