  • EYE TRACKING WITH PREDICTION AND LATE UPDATE TO GPU FOR FAST FOVEATED RENDERING IN AN HMD ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20190354174
    Abstract: A method for updating information for a graphics pipeline including executing in the first frame period an application on a CPU to generate primitives of a scene for a first video frame. Gaze tracking information is received in a second frame period for an eye of a user. In the second frame period a landing point on an HMD display is predicted at the CPU based at least on the gaze tracking information. A late update of the predicted landing point to a buffer accessible by the GPU is performed in the second frame period. Shader operations are performed in the GPU in the second frame period to generate pixel data based on the primitives and based on the predicted landing point, wherein the pixel data is stored into a frame buffer. The pixel data is scanned out in the third frame period from the frame buffer to the HMD.

  • REDUCING RENDERING COMPUTATION AND POWER CONSUMPTION BY DETECTING SACCADES AND BLINKS
    Publication number: 20190346922
    Abstract: Gaze tracking data may be analyzed to determine the onset and duration of a vision interrupting event, such as a blink or saccade. Presentation of images to a viewer may then be suspended during the vision interrupting event and resumed in sufficient time to ensure that the viewer sees the image at the time the vision interrupting event has concluded.

  • Reducing rendering computation and power consumption by detecting saccades and blinks
    Patent number: 10401952
    Abstract: Gaze tracking data may representing a user's gaze with respect to one or more images transmitted to a user are analyzed to determine one or more regions of interest. Compression of the one or more transmitted images is adjusted so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest.

  • HIGH TEMPERATURE ACOUSTIC LINER
    Publication number: 20190136765
    Abstract: A durable light weight, high temperature acoustic CMC liner system. A thin ceramic matrix composite skin, also referred to as a facesheet, forms an outer layer of a cell in the CMC liner system, forming the boundary with the flow of hot gases in the exhaust. A backplate forms the opposite boundary for the cell. The truss structure is formed between the backplate and the facesheet and provides the cell with strength. When the CMC system replaces the metal liner, the backplate thickness is increased so that it is about the thickness of the liner system that it replaces. The truss structure extends between the backplate and the facesheet, forming channels or volumetric spaces. These channels or volumetric spaces are filled with high temperature air permeable acoustic materials that attenuate sound propagated by cooling air in the acoustic range.

  • Real-time user adaptive foveated rendering
    Patent number: 10192528
    Abstract: Foveated rendering based on user gaze tracking may be adjusted to account for the realities of human vision. Gaze tracking error and state parameters may be determined from gaze tracking data representing a user's gaze with respect to one or more images presented to a user. Adjusted foveation data representing an adjusted size and/or shape of one or more regions of interest in one or more images to be subsequently presented to a user may be generated based on the one or more gaze tracking error or state parameters. Foveated image data representing one or more foveated images may be generated with the adjusted foveation data. The foveated images are characterized by level of detail within the one or more regions of interest and lower level of detail outside the one or more regions of interest. The foveated images may then be presented to the user.
