Abstract: Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise a vision system having one or more optical elements to project one or more images to a user, a mapping database comprising map data corresponding to one or more real objects of the world, wherein the mapping database receives inputs from at least a component of one or more wearable augmented reality display systems, and a processor communicatively coupled to the mapping database for retrieving the map data and processing the retrieved map data to determine one or more output parameters, wherein the processor further controls the vision system in a manner such that the one or more images are projected to the user based at least in part on the determined output parameters.

Abstract: A large depth of focus (DOF) display provides an image in which the apparent focus plane is adjusted to track an accommodation (focus) of a viewer's eye(s) to more effectively convey depth in the image. A device is employed to repeatedly determine accommodation as a viewer's gaze within the image changes. In response, an image that includes an apparent focus plane corresponding to the level of accommodation of the viewer is provided on the large DOF display. Objects that are not at the apparent focus plane are made to appear blurred. The images can be rendered in real-time, or can be pre-rendered and stored in an array. The dimensions of the array can each correspond to a different variable. The images can alternatively be provided by a computer controlled, adjustable focus video camera in real-time.
