20220374543 · 2022-11-24 ·

A method includes receiving, at an intermediary layer, from a camera of a head mounted display (HMD), image data of a real-world operating environment of the HMD at a first time. The method further includes identifying, at the intermediary layer, one or more objects in the image data, determining, at the intermediary layer, coordinates of a region comprising the one or more identified objects, determining a display permission for the one or more identified objects, modifying the image data in the region comprising the one or more identified objects according to the display permission and outputting the modified image data to an application executing outside of the intermediary layer.

Vehicular camera monitoring system with stereographic display
11505123 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A vehicular camera monitoring system includes a pair of rearward viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle with overlapping fields of view. A driver-monitoring camera is disposed at the vehicle. An ECU includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the driver-monitor camera and the rearward viewing cameras. A stereographic video display screen is disposed at the vehicle and viewable by the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by the driver-monitoring camera, the ECU determines location of each eye of the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by each of the rearward viewing cameras, the stereographic video display screen displays video images derived at least in part from image data captured by both rearward viewing cameras and provides depth perception to the driver of the vehicle viewing the displayed video images.

An immersive display and a method of operating the immersive display to provide information relating to an object. The method includes receiving information from an input device of the immersive display or coupled to the immersive display, detecting an object based on the information received from the input device, and displaying a representation of the object on images displayed on a display of the immersive display such that attributes of the representation distinguish the representation from the images displayed on the display, wherein the representation is displayed at a location on the display that corresponds with a location of the object.

GEOMETRY MATCHING IN VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY
20230035084 · 2023-02-02 ·

Methods, apparatus and systems for geometric matching of virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) output contemporaneously with video output formatted for display on a 2D screen include a determination of value sets that when used in image processing cause an off-screen angular field of view of the at least one of the AR output object or the VR output object to have a fixed relationship to at least one of the angular field of view of the onscreen object or of the 2D screen. The AR/VR output object is outputted to an AR/VR display device and the user experience is improved by the geometric matching between objects observed on the AR/VR display device and corresponding objects appearing on the 2D screen.
