  • Patent number: 10861422
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may configure a first memory to store image data to be adjusted based on a user viewpoint. The system may configure a first processing module to generate adjusted image data based on a resampling process using a surface associated with the image data, the image data, and the user viewpoint. The system may configure a second processing module to generate adjusted image data by applying a transformation to the image data. The system may configure a controller to cause a number of second images to be generated at a second frame rate based on a first image stored in the first memory and generated at a first frame rate lower than the second frame rate. One or more of the second images may be selectively generated using (1) the first processing module or (2) the second processing module based on one or more criteria.

  • Patent number: 10732709
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth a near-eye display system. The near-eye display system comprises a structured light generator including a plurality of reflective surfaces and configured to project a structured light pattern into an eye region of the near-eye display device, the structured light pattern generated based on a diffraction grating created by displacing at least a subset of the plurality of reflective surfaces. The near-eye display system further comprises an image capture device configured to capture one or more images of the structured light pattern incident on an eye proximate to the eye region and a depth mapping controller configured to generate a depth map of the eye based on the captured one or more images.
