Patent number: 11557105Abstract: Navigation of a virtual environment (VE) can mean navigating a VE that is spatially larger than the available Physical Tracked Space (PTS). Accordingly, the concept of redirected walking was introduced in order to provide a more natural way of navigating a VE, albeit with many restrictions on the shape and size of the physical and virtual spaces. However, prior art techniques have limitations such as negatively impacting the sense of immersion of the user, motion sickness, or forcing the user to look away by stimulating major saccades. Accordingly, the inventors have established a novel technique which overcomes these limitations. The technique is based on the psychological phenomenon of inattentional blindness allowing for re-directed walking without requiring the triggering major saccades in the users, complex expensive systems, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Concordia UniversityInventors: Yashas Joshi, Charalambos Poullis

Patent number: 8582869Abstract: The invention provides a fast method for a high-quality interpolation of a finite multidimensional dataset. It has particular application in digital image processing, including, but not limited to, processing of both still images and real-time image/data processing. The method uses discrete cosine and sine transforms of appropriate types to covert, in blocks of desired size, the initial dataset to the frequency domain. Proposed interpolators calculate a chain of inverse transforms of non-square sizes that perform the interpolation. The larger transform is broken into smaller transforms of non-square size using a recursive size reduction process of FFT-type, and the smaller transforms are calculated directly exploiting the symmetry properties of smaller interpolator functions involved. An output dataset is then assembled using the calculated transforms. The method avoids computationally costly process of inflating the coefficient space by padding zeros exploited for DCT-based interpolations previously.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Concordia UniversityInventor: Armen Atoyan
