  • Patent number: 10681276
    Abstract: A method is disclosed, comprising providing video data representing a plurality of frames of virtual reality content captured by a camera. A further step comprises determining a reference depth or object within the content. A further step comprises adjusting the position of content in one or more frames, based on the reference depth or object, to compensate for the movement of the camera during capture.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180190166
    Abstract: A method including, in a standard display mode, causing display of a graphical element at a position on a see through display that includes a light projection display that overlays a light filtration array such that the light projection display projects the graphical element at the position on the see through display and the light filtration array filters ambient light at the position on the see through display, transitioning from the standard display mode to a low power display mode, causing termination of display of the graphical element on the see through display based on the low power display mode, determining that an event has occurred, generating a notification that signifies the event, and causing actuation of the light filtration array such that a plurality of light filtration cells of the light filtration array are selectively actuated in a pattern that depicts the notification is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170352173
    Abstract: The invention relates to an imaging processing method comprising receiving (210) at least one input image, said at least one input image having been captured by at least one camera; receiving (220) at least one state parameter related to a user device, said user device comprising at least one display, said at least one display being at least partially transparent and operatively connected to said at least one camera. The at least one input image may be processed (230) based on the at least one received state parameter to produce at least one processed image. Alternatively or in addition, at least one image processing parameter indicative of the at least one received state parameter may be provided for processing (230) the at least one input image.

  • Publication number: 20150042679
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus, method, computer program and system for a near eye display to cause at least: displaying visual content on a near eye display; detecting an event; and adjusting, in response to detecting the event, a visual prominence of the displayed visual content for altering a viewer's immersion level in the displayed visual content.

  • Patent number: 8494229
    Abstract: An eye tracker device (200) comprises a diffractive beam expander (207) to provide two substantially collimated illuminating light beams (B11, B12). The collimated light beams (B11, B12) provide two reflection spots (G1, G2) appearing in the image of the eye. The gaze direction (GZD) is calculated from the positions of the reflection spots (G1, G2) with respect to the pupil (P) of the eye (E1). The two illuminating beams (B11, B12) are provided by splitting an infrared laser beam (B4) into two in-coupled beams (B5, B6), which propagate in different directions in the substrate (7) of the beams expander. The in-coupled beams (B5, B6) are expanded and their light is subsequently coupled out of the substrate (7) by an out-coupling grating (230) to illuminate the eye (E1). The same substrate (7) may also be used to implement a virtual display device (100) for displaying virtual images to said eye (E1).
