  • Publication number: 20250252678
    Abstract: The embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for improving a mixed reality service and a host. The method includes the following. A reference image for rendering a pass-through view is obtained from a color camera of the host. Coordinate transformation information is determined based on camera information of the host. The coordinate transformation information is used to convert a rendering position from a preset rendering position to a reference rendering position. A reference reprojection parameter is determined based on a preset reprojection parameter, the camera information of the host, and the coordinate transformation information. A virtual object corresponding to a target object to be rendered is rendered based on object information of the target object to be rendered and the coordinate transformation information. The virtual object is combined with the reference image into the pass-through view.
