Patent number: 11961194Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for recording augmented reality and mixed reality experiences. In an example method, an image of a real environment is received via a camera of a wearable head device. A pose of the wearable head device is estimated, and a first image of a virtual environment is generated based on the pose. A second image of the virtual environment is generated based on the pose, wherein the second image of the virtual environment comprises a larger field of view than a field of view of the first image of the virtual environment. A combined image is generated based on the second image of the virtual environment and the image of the real environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: John Carl Paulus, Jr., Michael Harold Liebenow

Patent number: 11386629Abstract: An augmented reality viewing system is described. A local coordinate frame of local content is transformed to a world coordinate frame. A further transformation is made to a head coordinate frame and a further transformation is made to a camera coordinate frame that includes all pupil positions of an eye. One or more users may interact in separate sessions with a viewing system. If a canonical map is available, the earlier map is downloaded onto a viewing device of a user. The viewing device then generates another map and localizes the subsequent map to the canonical map.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Dwayne Miranda, Rafael Domingos Torres, Daniel Olshansky, Anush Mohan, Robert Blake Taylor, Samuel A.
