Publication number: 20240135707Abstract: To determine the head pose of a user, a head-mounted display system having an imaging device can obtain a current image of a real-world environment, with points corresponding to salient points which will be used to determine the head pose. The salient points are patch-based and include: a first salient point being projected onto the current image from a previous image, and with a second salient point included in the current image being extracted from the current image. Each salient point is subsequently matched with real-world points based on descriptor-based map information indicating locations of salient points in the real-world environment. The orientation of the imaging devices is determined based on the matching and based on the relative positions of the salient points in the view captured in the current image. The orientation may be used to extrapolate the head pose of the wearer of the head-mounted display system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Martin Georg Zahnert, Joao Antonio Pereira Faro, Miguel Andres Granados Velasquez, Dominik Michael Kasper, Ashwin Swaminathan, Anush Mohan, Prateek Singhal

Patent number: 11935180Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting virtual content on a wearable head device. In some embodiments, a state of a wearable head device is determined by minimizing a total error based on a reduced weight associated with a reprojection error. A view reflecting the determined state of the wearable head device is presented via a display of the wearable head device. In some embodiments, a wearable head device calculates a preintegration term based on the image data received via a sensor of the wearable head device and the inertial data received via a first IMU and a second IMU of the wearable head device. The wearable head device estimates a position of the device based on the preintegration term, and the wearable head device presents the virtual content based on the position of the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Yu-Hsiang Huang, Evan Gregory Levine, Igor Napolskikh, Dominik Michael Kasper, Manel Quim Sanchez Nicuesa, Sergiu Sima, Benjamin Langmann, Ashwin Swaminathan, Martin Georg Zahnert, Blazej Marek Czuprynski, Joao Antonio Pereira Faro, Christoph Tobler, Omid Ghasemalizadeh

Publication number: 20220230382Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting virtual content on a wearable head device. In some embodiments, a state of a wearable head device is determined by minimizing a total error based on a reduced weight associated with a reprojection error. A view reflecting the determined state of the wearable head device is presented via a display of the wearable head device. In some embodiments, a wearable head device calculates a preintegration term based on the image data received via a sensor of the wearable head device and the inertial data received via a first IMU and a second IMU of the wearable head device. The wearable head device estimates a position of the device based on the preintegration term, and the wearable head device presents the virtual content based on the position of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Yu-Hsiang HUANG, Evan Gregory LEVINE, Igor NAPOLSKIKH, Dominik Michael KASPER, Manel Quim SANCHEZ NICUESA, Sergiu SIMA, Benjamin LANGMANN, Ashwin SWAMINATHAN, Martin Georg ZAHNERT, Blazej Marek CZUPRYNSKI, Joao Antonio Pereira FARO, Christoph TOBLER, Omid GHASEMALIZADEH
