  • Patent number: 11347056
    Abstract: A color correction mask programmatically generated in software on an HMD device is applied to a gaze region on a display field of view (FOV) on a head-mounted display (HMD) device to optimize system resources while rendering a display. Eye monitoring sensors are utilized to track movement of a user's eyes while the user operates the HMD device to determine a gaze position of the user's eyes on the display FOV. Using the determined gaze position, a dynamic foveal gaze region is sized around the gaze position so that the foveal portion of the display FOV is color-corrected, that is, color non-uniformities are reduced or eliminated. In other implementations, a gaze-based weighting mode is implemented in which measurements of the user's full eye or eye orbit are utilized to color correct a larger surface area of the display FOV relative to the foveal color correction mode.

  • Patent number: 10212414
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses for dynamic realignment of stereoscopic digital content is described herein. A computing device causes display of stereoscopic digital content, which includes one or more left images rendered for a left eye of a viewer and one or more right images rendered for a right eye of the viewer. An alignment pattern is generated within the stereoscopic digital content such that the alignment pattern is within the field of view of the viewer. The alignment pattern is designed to exploit the human vision system in order to avoid detection of the alignment pattern by the viewer. One or more cameras are controlled to detect the alignment pattern in the digital content. Then, the digital content is realigned by adjusting at least one of the left or right images of the digital content based on the detected alignment patterns.
