Patent number: 11122249Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that dynamically and laterally shift each virtual object displayed by an augmented reality headset by a respective distance as the respective virtual object is displayed to change virtual depth from a first virtual depth to a second virtual depth. The respective distance may be determined based on a lateral distance between a first convergence vector of a user's eye with the respective virtual object at the first virtual depth and a second convergence vector of the user's eye with the respective virtual object at the second virtual depth along the display, and may be based on an interpupillary distance. In this manner, display of the virtual object may be adjusted such that the gazes of the user's eyes may converge where the virtual object appears to be.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Universal City Studios LLCInventors: Yu-Jen Lin, Patrick John Goergen, Martin Evan Graham

Patent number: 11056042Abstract: Systems and methods for providing display panels with reduced visual artifacts. A display system is provided that includes a pixel array having a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns. The display system receives an image stream that includes a plurality of sets of image data that each represent an image to be sequentially presented by the display system. The data for each frame or set of image data is loaded into the pixel array according to a loading sequence with reduces the visual artifacts perceived by a viewer of the display system. The loading sequence may include an inside-out loading sequence which gives preference to a central region of the pixel array, a speculative preloading sequence which first loads portions of the pixel array with speculative data, or various combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Valve CorporationInventors: Jeremy Adam Selan, Duane Martin Evans

Patent number: 10656693Abstract: Power management contracts for accessory devices are described. In one or more implementations, a power management contract is established for a system including a host computing device and an accessory device based at least in part upon power exchange conditions observed for the system. The power management contracts define operating constraints for power exchange between components of the system, including at least a power exchange direction and current limits. The host computing device and accessory devices are each configured to renegotiate the power management contract to dynamically change operating constraints in “real-time.” Additionally, different power management contracts may be associated with identifying data corresponding to different types of accessory devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Micrsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gene Robert Obie, Heng Huang, Yi He, Duane Martin Evans
