1. A method of operation in a processor-based system, the method comprising:
for a first set of virtual content rendered in a field-of-view of a wearable heads-up display to populate a scene, registering the first set of virtual content with a first image of at least a portion of the scene as captured by an image sensor; and
after the first set of virtual content has been registered with the first image, generating an augmented image that includes at least a portion of the first image as captured by the image sensor with at least a portion of the first set of virtual content populated into the at least a portion of the first image as captured by the image sensor.
