Methods and systems for creating virtual and augmented reality

Abstract

Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise an image capturing device to capture one or more images, the one or more images corresponding to a field of the view of a user of a head-mounted augmented reality device, and a processor communicatively coupled to the image capturing device to extract a set of map points from the set of images, to identify a set of sparse points and a set of dense points from the extracted set of map points, and to perform a normalization on the set of map points.

Description

technical field Background technique [0001] Modern computing and display technologies have facilitated the development of systems for so-called "virtual reality" or "augmented reality" experiences, in which digitally reproduced images, or parts thereof, are presented to the user in such a way that they appear or can be perceived as real . Virtual reality or "VR" scenarios generally involve the presentation of digital or virtual image information without transparency to other real world visual input; augmented reality or "AR" scenarios generally involve the presentation of digital or virtual image information as images of the real world around the user. Enhanced visualization. For example, an augmented reality scene may allow a user of AR technology to see one or more virtual objects (e.g., featuring people, trees, buildings in the background) superimposed on or among real world objects. real-world park-like environments, etc.). [0002] The human visual perception system ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The design of these virtual reality and / or AR systems presents a number of challenges, including the speed of the system in delivering the virtual content, the quality of the virtual content, the user's eye relief, the size and portability of the system, and other system and optical challenge
