Patent number: 11721039Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for calibration-free instant motion tracking useful, for example, for rending virtual content in augmented reality settings. In particular, a computing system can iteratively augment image frames that depict a scene to insert virtual content at an anchor region within the scene, including situations in which the anchor region moves relative to the scene. To do so, the computing system can estimate, for each of a number of sequential image frames: a rotation of an image capture system that captures the image frames; and a translation of the anchor region relative to an image capture system, thereby providing sufficient information to determine where and at what orientation to render the virtual content within the image frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Jianing Wei, Matthias Grundmann

Patent number: 11676348Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes using one or more cameras of a mobile computing device to capture one or more images of a first user wearing a VR display device in a real-world environment. The mobile computing device transmits a pose of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device to a VR system. The mobile computing device receives from the VR system a VR rendering of a VR environment. The VR rendering is from the perspective of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device. The method includes segmenting the first user from the one or more images and generating, in real-time responsive to capturing the one or more images, a MR rendering of the first user in the VR environment.
