  • Fake thickness on a two-dimensional object
    Patent number: 10740966
    Abstract: A system for generating an object in a mixed reality space obtains a two-dimensional (2D) object having a face with four vertices and determine a visibility and a thickness of one or more edges of the 2D object to be generated. The thickness is based at least in part on a viewing vector and a normal vector for the 2D object. A rendered 2D object with the determined thickness is generated, including rendering the one or more edges with one or more colors to emulate a lighting condition. The rendered 2D object is presented in a mixed reality space that allows the more efficient viewing of an augmented reality environment with a user device.
