example 1

[0270 may include a video encoding system comprising a plurality of cameras, wherein the plurality of cameras have complementary fields of view that extend the field of view beyond that captured by a single camera, a programmable processor, and memory including a set of instructions which, if executed by the programmable processor, cause the programmable processor to capture video within a viewport of the plurality of cameras. The system may also include logic to determine a region of interest for a user based on eye tracking information, encode the video for at least one of the plurality of cameras at high resolution based on the eye tracking information, and encode the video for at least another of the plurality of cameras at low resolution based on the eye tracking information.

example 2

[0271 may include the system of example 1, wherein the at least one of the plurality of cameras is positioned in the center of the region of interest.

example 3

[0272 may include the system of example 2, wherein the at least another camera is positioned adjacent the at least one of the plurality of cameras.

Abstract

Systems and methods may provide for capturing 360 degree video, and multi-resolution encoding, processing and displaying of the video based on a field of view (FOV) and region of interest (ROI) for a viewer. The ROI may be determined based on eye tracking information (ETI) and the video may be encoded for viewports within the FOV at a high resolution and for other viewports outside the FOV at a lower resolution. ROI in the video may be encoded at a high resolution and areas outside of the ROI may be encoded at a lower resolution. The ETI enables the selective display of one or more warnings based on the gaze of a user to improve the efficiency of the warning. 3D glasses having variable lens may be used to adjust the focal distance of a virtual display to match a virtual distance of an object based on stereo distance cues.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCED TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 488,878 filed Apr. 17, 2017.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]Embodiments generally relate to display technology, and more particularly, to the use of eye tracking for controlling 360 video capture and display, providing warnings and matching eye accommodation.BACKGROUND OF THE DESCRIPTION[0003]Modern displays are being implemented in increasingly wider and more varied types of applications including, for example, three-dimensional (3D) displays, head mounted displays (HMDs), heads-up displays (HUDs), virtual displays, and the like. These applications enable technologies such as 3D, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and other immersive viewing environments. Further, High Definition (HD) video enables more accurate, precise and useful implementations of these displays. Also, improved video standards such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) enable enhanced displa...
