Publication number: 20170127051Abstract: Systems and methods for a head tracked stereoscopic display system that uses light field type data may include receiving light field type data corresponding to a scene. The stereoscopic display system may track a user's head. Using the received light field type data and the head tracking, the system may generate three dimensional (3D) virtual content that corresponds to a virtual representation of the scene. The stereoscopic display system may then present the 3D virtual content to a user. The stereoscopic display system may present a left eye perspective image and a right eye perspective image of the scene to the user based on the position and orientation of the user's head. The images presented to the user may be updated based on a change in the position or the orientation of the user's head or based on receiving user input.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2017Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: David A. Chavez, Bruce J. Bell, Alexandre R. Lelievre, Jerome C. Tu, Christopher W. Sherman, Robert D. Kalnins, Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Francisco Lopez-Fresquet, Clifford S. Champion, Arthur L. Berman

Publication number: 20170102791Abstract: Virtual plane and use in a stylus based three dimensional (3D) stereoscopic display system. A virtual plane may be displayed in a virtual 3D space on a display of the 3D stereoscopic display system. The virtual plane may extend from a stylus of the 3D stereoscopic display system. Content may be generated in response to a geometric relationship of the virtual plane with at least one virtual object in the virtual 3D space. The generated content may indicate one or more attributes of the at least one virtual object. The content may be presented via the 3D stereoscopic display system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2015Publication date: April 13, 2017Inventors: Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Arthur L.

Publication number: 20160014391Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing a two dimensional (2D) image of a portion of a three dimensional (3D) scene may include a computer rendering a 3D scene on a display from a user's point of view (POV). A camera mode may be activated in response to user input and a POV of a camera may be determined. The POV of the camera may be specified by position and orientation of a user input device coupled to the computer, and may be independent of the user's POV. A 2D frame of the 3D scene based on the POV of the camera may be determined and the 2D image based on the 2D frame may be captured in response to user input. The 2D image may be stored locally or on a server of a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Arthur L. Berman, Jerome C.
