Abstract: An illustrative image rendering system separate from and communicatively coupled to a presentation device detects a pre-modeled scene within a captured frame received from the presentation device. The pre-modeled scene is associated with a model asset accessible to the image rendering system. Based on the captured frame and the model asset, the image rendering system generates an augmentable representation of the pre-modeled scene and, based on the augmentable representation, generates an augmented version of the captured frame. The generating of the augmented version of the captured frame includes a plurality of render passes each configured to simulate a different virtualized element of a plurality of virtualized elements augmenting the pre-modeled scene within the augmented version of the captured frame. The image rendering system provides the augmented version of the captured frame to the presentation device. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: 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.
