An imaging method is provided for a modular mixed reality (MR) device having an MR calculation module, an MR optical path module and an MR posture module. The MR calculation module is configured to adjust display content according to data from the MR posture module. The MR optical path module comprises a virtual-image optical path and a mixed optical path. A semi-transparent semi-reflective mirror is provided in the mixed optical path. One surface of the mirror is a real-image introduction surface facing a real environment, while the other is a virtual-image introduction surface facing the virtual-image optical path. Virtual-image light is reflected by the virtual-image introduction surface onto an observation end and mixed with real environment light transmitted to the observation end by the real-image introduction surface to form a mixed reality image.

Presentation of an enriched view of a physical setting

In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include presenting, on a display of an electronic device, first content representing a standard view of a physical setting depicted in image data generated by an image sensor of the electronic device. While presenting the first content, an interaction with an input device of the electronic device is detected that is indicative of a request to present an enriched view of the physical setting. In accordance with detecting the interaction, second content is formed representing the enriched view of the physical setting by applying an enrichment effect that alters or supplements the image data generated by the image sensor. The second content representing the enriched view of the physical setting is presented on the display.

Pose estimation using electromagnetic tracking
11709544 · 2023-07-25 · ·

Head-mounted augmented reality (AR) devices can track pose of a wearer's head to provide a three-dimensional virtual representation of objects in the wearer's environment. An electromagnetic (EM) tracking system can track head or body pose. A handheld user input device can include an EM emitter that generates an EM field, and the head-mounted AR device can include an EM sensor that senses the EM field. EM information from the sensor can be analyzed to determine location and/or orientation of the sensor and thereby the wearer's pose. An improved or optimized pose can be provided by reverse-estimating a reverse EM measurement matrix and optimizing the pose based on a comparison between the reverse EM measurement matrix and an EM measurement matrix measured by the EM sensor.
