1. A method for displaying an augmented reality (AR) element on an AR display:
receiving, at an AR device, an initial two-dimensional (2D) texture of the AR element, the initial 2D texture rendered at a computing device that is coupled to the AR device in a split architecture, wherein the computing device and the AR device are physically separated;
warping, at the AR device, the initial 2D texture of the AR element, wherein the warping includes:
receiving, at the AR device, a first pose from the computing device;
estimating, at the AR device, a second pose;
computing, at the AR device, a warp transformation based on a comparison of the first pose and the second pose; and
generating a registered 2D texture of the AR element; and
triggering display of the registered 2D texture of the AR element on the AR display of the AR device.
