Publication number: 20240282225Abstract: A system for implementing an augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) display includes a hardware (HW) architecture that employs a system-on-chip (SoC) to compose and submit textures. The SoC composes and submits textures by using display serial interface (DSI) display lines to transmit the textures to a physical display. Software (SW) architecture includes a stack display architecture with an applications level using the surface rendered by applications, a display service level to compose superframes, provide an abstraction layer on top of a surface flinger (SL) application programming interface (API), and allow assignment of textures and metadata to different hardware planes, and a driver level. The system uses the surfaces or enhanced effects that are rendered by the applications or the compositor, depending on the type of the application, and computes the metadata related to the location or coordinates.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventor: Aditya Gadre

Publication number: 20240273840Abstract: A wrist-pose isolation system can infer a wrist pose (e.g., the user's hand position relative to her forearm) and can reduce wrist-induced jitter for projection casting in an XR environment. A user's projection cast can be determined as a combination of a “low-wrist contribution” component (e.g., a body-and-arm component) and a “high-wrist contribution” component (e.g., the pose of the wrist with respect to the arm). Using input from a gesture-tracking system, the contribution of the user's wrist pose to the user's current projection cast is calculated as a “wrist-contribution vector.” A projection cast direction can be determined as the interpolation of the current low-wrist contribution component and the high-wrist contribution component. This interpolation can be performed by weighting each by a specified amount and combining them.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Norah Riley SMITH, Matthew Alan INSLEY
