Patent number: 11893700Abstract: Spatial information that describes spatial locations of visual objects as in a three-dimensional (3D) image space as represented in one or more multi-view unlayered images is accessed. Based on the spatial information, a cinema image layer and one or more device image layers are generated from the one or more multi-view unlayered images. A multi-layer multi-view video signal comprising the cinema image layer and the device image layers is sent to downstream devices for rendering.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Ajit Ninan, Neil Mammen, Tyrome Y.

Patent number: 11882267Abstract: A spatial direction of a wearable device that represents an actual viewing direction of the wearable device is determined. The spatial direction of the wearable device is used to select, from a multi-view image comprising single-view images, a set of single-view images. A display image is caused to be rendered on a device display of the wearable device. The display image represents a single-view image as viewed from the actual viewing direction of the wearable device. The display image is constructed based on the spatial direction of the wearable device and the set of single-view images.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Ajit Ninan, Neil Mammen

Patent number: 11762209Abstract: A wearable device for augmented media content experiences can be formed with a mountable physical structure that has removably mountable positions and component devices that are removably mounted through the removably mountable positions. The component devices can be specifically selected based on a specific type of content consumption environment in which the wearable device is to operate. The mountable physical structure may be subject to a device washing process to which the component devices are not subject to, after the wearable device including the mountable physical structure and the component devices is used by a viewer in a content consumption session in the specific type of content consumption environment, so long as the component devices are subsequently removed from the mountable physical structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATIONInventors: Ajit Ninan, Neil Mammen

Publication number: 20230281860Abstract: At a first time point, a first light capturing device at a first spatial location in a three-dimensional (3D) space captures first light rays from light sources located at designated spatial locations on a viewer device in the 3D space. At the first time point, a second light capturing device at a second spatial location in the 3D space captures second light rays from the light sources located at the designated spatial locations on the viewer device in the 3D space. Based on the first light rays captured by the first light capturing device and the second light rays captured by the second light capturing device, at least one of a spatial position and a spatial direction, at the first time point, of the viewer device is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Ajit NINAN, Neil MAMMEN

Patent number: 11363250Abstract: A wearable device comprises a left view optical stack for a viewer to view left view cinema display images rendered on a cinema display and a right view optical stack for the viewer to view right view cinema display images rendered on the cinema display. The left view cinema display images and the right view cinema display images form stereoscopic cinema images. The wearable device further comprises a left view imager that renders left view device display images, to the viewer, on a device display, and a right view imager that renders right view device display images, to the viewer, on the device display. The left view device display images and the right view device display images form stereoscopic device images complementary to the stereoscopic cinema images.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Ajit Ninan, Neil Mammen
