Shared Rendering via Single Image Server Pose Tracking

The patent merges multiple image server functionalities into a single image server that can handle multiple display devices simultaneously. The server receives device pose information from multiple clients, generates appropriate image frames for each device based on their specific poses, and delivers them accordingly. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple separate servers while maintaining the capability to generate device-specific visual content.

The image server is designed with universal functionality to serve multiple display devices with different poses and requirements. It implements a standardized interface that accepts device pose information from any client and generates appropriate image frames regardless of the specific device characteristics, making the server multi-functional and adaptable to various display devices.

The system performs preliminary action by having each client device continuously track and maintain up-to-date device pose information before image frame generation is requested. This pre-tracking ensures that when the image server needs to generate images, accurate pose data is already available, eliminating the need to request or store extensive device-specific information during the collaboration process.

Each client device autonomously tracks its own device pose information using its onboard sensors and tracking mechanisms. This self-service approach means devices provide their own necessary information without requiring complex server-side configuration or access to external device specifications, enabling multi-device collaboration with minimal server changes.
