  • Computational blur for varifocal displays
    Patent number: 10699383
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed herein to blur an image to be displayed on a stereo display (such as virtual or augmented reality displays) based on the focus and convergence of the user. The methods approximate the complex effect of chromatic aberration on focus, utilizing three (R/G/B) simple Gaussian blurs. For transparency the methods utilize buffers for levels of blur rather than depth. The methods enable real-time chromatic-based blurring effects for VR/AR displays.
    Type: Grant
