1. A system, comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture an image of a face of a user, the image depicting an eye of the user and a head-mounted enclosure; and
one or more processors configured to:
determine, based on the image, an orientation of an eye of the user relative to the head-mounted enclosure,
determine, based on the orientation, a three-dimensional transform for a virtual camera associated with the eye of the user,
apply the three-dimensional transform to an output image to obtain a transformed image, and
project the transformed image from a display device, via an optical assembly of the head-mounted enclosure, to the eye of the user.
