Pass-through display of captured imagery

A method includes sequentially outputting from an imaging sensor each pixel row of a set of pixel rows of an image captured by the imaging sensor. The method further includes displaying, at a display device, a pixel row representative of a first pixel row of the captured image prior to a second pixel row of the captured image being output by the imaging sensor. An apparatus includes an imaging sensor having a first lens that imparts a first type of spatial distortion, a display device coupled to the imaging sensor, the display to display imagery captured by the imaging sensor with the first spatial distortion, and an eyepiece lens aligned with the display, the eyepiece lens imparting a second type of spatial distortion that compensates for the first type of spatial distortion.
