  • Publication number: 20190287290
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide away to render augmented reality and virtual reality (VR/AR) environment information. More particularly, systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to selectively suppress and enhance VR/AR renderings of n-dimensional environments. The systems, apparatuses and methods may deepen a user's VR/AR experience by focusing on particular feedback information, while suppressing other feedback information from the environment.

  • Patent number: 10397542
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating quantization and compression of three-dimensional graphics data using screen space metrics at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting one or more sets of data comprising at least one of camera data, output format data, and geometry data, and obtaining geometry of a three-dimensional (3D) original object based on the geometry data. The method may further include computing, in camera space, visual quality of the 3D original object when moved closer to or farther away from a camera based on at least one of the camera data and the output format data, and computing a metric based on the visual quality. The method may further include compressing the 3D original object into a 3D quantized object based on the metric.
