Systems and methods for a parallactic ambient visual-field enhancer
A method for creating a temporal-spatial dissociation between an ambient visual process and a focal visual process of a user is provided. The method includes rendering, via a parallactic ambient visual-field enhancing (PAVE) module configured to execute on a computing device communicatively coupled to a head mounted display device worn by a user, a fixation target and a background located behind the fixation target displayed within the head mounted display device. The method further includes updating, via the PAVE module, the rendering of the background within the head mounted display device, wherein the update comprises a virtual movement of the background behind the fixation target.
HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY APPARATUS
The occlusion is faithfully expressed even in the binocular vision in the AR display by a head mounted display apparatus or the like. A head mounted display apparatus 10 includes a lens, a lens, a camera, a camera, and a control processor. A CG image for a right eye is displayed on the lens. A CG image for a left eye is displayed on the lens. The camera captures an image for the right eye. The camera captures an image for the left eye. The control processor generates the CG image for the right eye in which occlusion at the time of seeing by the right eye is expressed and the CG image for the left eye in which occlusion at the time of seeing by the left eye is expressed, based on the images captured by the cameras and projects the generated CG image for the right eye and CG image for the left eye onto the lenses and. A center of a lens of the camera is provided at the same position as a center of the lens. A center of a lens of the camera is provided at the same position as a center of the lens.
Computer vision cameras for IR light detection
A head-mounted device (HMD) is structured to include at least one computer vision camera that omits an IR light filter. Consequently, this computer vision's sensor is able to detect IR light, including IR laser light, in the environment. The HMD is configured to generate an image of the environment using the computer vision camera. This image is then fed as input into a machine learning (ML) algorithm that identifies IR laser light, which is detected by the sensor and which is recorded in the image. The HMD then visually displays a notification comprising information corresponding to the detected IR laser light.
IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN IMAGE DISPLAY PROGRAM, IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD
An example of an image display system includes a goggles apparatus and is capable of setting an angle of view of a virtual camera disposed in a virtual space to a first angle of view or a second angle of view smaller than the first angle of view. If the angle of view of the virtual camera is set to the first angle of view, the image display system sets a parallax between an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye to a first parallax. If the angle of view of the virtual camera is set to the second angle of view, the image display system sets the parallax between the image for a left eye and the image for a right eye to a second parallax smaller than the first parallax.
Camera system
A device for MR/VR systems that includes a two-dimensional array of cameras that capture images of respective portions of a scene. The cameras are positioned along a spherical surface so that the cameras have adjacent fields of view. The entrance pupils of the cameras are positioned at or near the user's eye while the cameras also form optimized images at the sensor. Methods for reducing the number of cameras in an array, as well as methods for reducing the number of pixels read from the array and processed by the pipeline, are also described.
Eyewear including a push-pull lens set
Eyewear having a stereoscopic display including a lens system, and a push-pull lens set including prisms to produce a binocular overlap of two images that coincides with an accommodation plane. The overlap of two virtual images generated by a respective display as seen by the user's two eyes provides user comfort. The stereoscopic display may have a single accommodation plane, where the binocular overlap of the two virtual images depends on the location of the accommodation plane and the depth of the content formed by disparity in the two images. By providing the content at or near the location where the virtual images are at least substantially overlapped, the user viewing comfort is improved. The binocular overlap is controlled by tilting or steering the virtual images inward, such that the overlap occurs at the accommodation plane.
Image display system, non-transitory storage medium having stored therein image display program, image display apparatus, and image display method
An example of an image display system includes a goggles apparatus and is capable of setting an angle of view of a virtual camera disposed in a virtual space to a first angle of view or a second angle of view smaller than the first angle of view. If the angle of view of the virtual camera is set to the first angle of view, the image display system sets a parallax between an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye to a first parallax. If the angle of view of the virtual camera is set to the second angle of view, the image display system sets the parallax between the image for a left eye and the image for a right eye to a second parallax smaller than the first parallax.
Method and apparatus for providing augmented reality (AR) object to user
A method for providing an augmented reality (AR) object to a user includes determining a left image and a right image to provide an AR object to a user of a vehicle; generating eye information of the user based on an image of the user that is obtained; measuring an acceleration of the vehicle using an inertial measurement unit; predicting a target position of the user a preset time period after the image of the user is obtained, based on the acceleration and the eye information; generating a panel image by rendering the left image and the right image based on the predicted target position; and providing the AR object to the user by outputting the panel image through a head-up display (HUD) system of the vehicle.
Dynamic uniformity correction
In one embodiment, a computing system may determine, for a current frame to be displayed and using an eye tracking system, a current eye position of a viewer. The system may determine a first array of scaling factors based on the determined current eye position of the viewer. The system may retrieve one or more second arrays of scaling factors used for correcting one or more proceeding frames of the current frame. The system may determine a third array of scaling factors based on the first array of scaling factors determined based on the current eye position and the one or more second arrays of scaling factors used for correcting the proceeding frames. The system may adjust pixel values of the current frame based at least on the third array of scaling factors. The system may output the current frame with the adjusted pixel values to a display.
