  • Patent number: 10521011
    Abstract: A system including: a sensor module having an inertial measurement unit and attached to the head of a user. The sensor module is initially calibrated to measure its orientation relative a reference pose. To recalibrate the sensor module according to a calibration pose, a camera of the sensor module is used to capture an image of at least one optical mark (e.g., configured on devices held in hands in the calibration pose in front of the user). A direction identified from the image is rotated according to the rotational transformation between the reference pose and the calibration pose measured by the sensor module and then projected on to a horizontal plane relative to the reference pose. The angle in the horizontal plane between the projected direction and the front facing direction is used for the calibration of the subsequent orientation measurements of the sensor module.

  • Patent number: 10510305
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may include a first display device and a second display device. An embedded controller may determine a first perceived brightness of the first display based on a first current and a first amount of ambient light associated with the first display device, determine a second perceived brightness of the second display device based on a second current and a second amount of ambient light associated with the second display device, and determine a ratio of the first perceived brightness to the second perceived brightness. The embedded controller may modify, based at least in part on the ratio, the second current to create a second modified amount of current associated with the second display device that modifies the second perceived brightness of the second display device to create a modified second perceived brightness of the second display device.

  • Patent number: 10504399
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a display device to generate a colour image for viewing by a user on a display, the colour image being formed by one or more colour components each of a colour selected from two or more different colours to be displayed with predetermined relative timings. Received image data define one or more colour components of a feature to be displayed as an element in the colour image. Rate data are received, e.g. from an associated tracker system, indicative of a rate of change in orientation of the display relative to a direction of gaze of an eye of the user. The received rate data are used to determine a position on the display for displaying each of the one or more colour components of the feature including determining any respective adjustment required to a determined position for the colour component according to its respective colour, the received rate data and the predetermined relative timings.
