  • Patent number: 10810797
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and animating virtual representations to a wearer of a HMD device are disclosed. A virtual representation associated with a real-world object is retrieved based on received input data. The retrieved virtual representation is rendered for display to the wearer. Sensor data tracking one or more of the real-world object and the wearer is also received. The rendered virtual representation can be further animated based on the sensor data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2020
    Assignee: OTOY, INC

  • Patent number: 10573064
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a model of an object that includes the surface reflectance details of the object are disclosed. The surface reflectance properties of the object comprising at least separate components for the object diffuse data and the object specular data are received. A 3D model of the object is generated wherein the reflectance properties of the model are configured based on the reflectance properties of the object surface. The object diffuse data determines the color to be used in generating the model and the object specular data determines one of the attributes of the coating for the model or the material to be used for generating the model.

  • Patent number: 9609284
    Abstract: A subject is imaged using imaging equipment arranged on portable, wireless vehicles. The vehicles are positioned in a pattern in proximity to the subject and illuminate the subject in order to collect image data. The image data can be collected by cameras carried by the vehicles in addition to or instead of external high speed cameras.
