Britta Silke Hummel has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11019330
    Abstract: A method for a computing device to recalibrate a multiple camera system includes collecting calibration data from one or more pictures captured by the multiple camera system of the computing device. The multiple camera system includes two or more cameras that are each physically separated by a distance from one another. The method further includes detecting decalibration of the camera system. The method further includes, when the camera system is decalibrated, generating recalibration parameters based on the calibration data. The method further includes determining whether the recalibration parameters are valid parameters and, when they are, updating the multiple camera system based on the recalibration parameters.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9183676
    Abstract: Technology is described for displaying a collision between objects by an augmented reality display device system. A collision between a real object and a virtual object is identified based on three dimensional space position data of the objects. At least one effect on at least one physical property of the real object is determined based on physical properties of the real object, like a change in surface shape, and physical interaction characteristics of the collision. Simulation image data is generated and displayed simulating the effect on the real object by the augmented reality display. Virtual objects under control of different executing applications can also interact with one another in collisions.
