Abstract: Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience between two eyewear devices by using alignment between respective 6DOF trajectories, also referred to herein as ego motion alignment. An eyewear device of user A and an eyewear device of user B track the eyewear device of the other user, or an object of the other user, such as on the user's face, to provide the collaborative AR experience. This enables sharing common three-dimensional content between multiple eyewear users without using or aligning the eyewear devices to common image content such as a marker, which is a more lightweight solution with reduced computational burden on a processor. An inertial measurement unit may also be used to align the eyewear devices.

Abstract: A mixed reality system including a head-mounted display (HMD) and a base station. Information collected by HMD sensors may be transmitted to the base via a wired or wireless connection. On the base, a rendering engine renders frames including virtual content based in part on the sensor information, and an encoder compresses the frames according to an encoding protocol before sending the frames to the HMD over the connection. Instead of using a previous frame to estimate motion vectors in the encoder, motion vectors from the HMD and the rendering engine are input to the encoder and used in compressing the frame. The motion vectors may be embedded in the data stream along with the encoded frame data and transmitted to the HMD over the connection. If a frame is not received at the HMD, the HMD may synthesize a frame from a previous frame using the motion vectors.

Abstract: Described herein are eye-controlled user-machine interaction systems and methods that, based on input variables that comprise orientation and motion of an eye-mounted display (EMD), assist the wearer of a contact lens carrying the EMD to control and navigate a virtual scene that may be superimposed onto the real-world environment. Various embodiments of the invention provide for smooth, intuitive, and naturally flowing eye-controlled, interactive operations between the wearer and a virtual environment. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by revealing layers of virtual objects and content based on eye-tracking and other motion information.
