Publication number: 20230099062Abstract: Augmented and virtual reality display systems increase viewer comfort by reducing viewer exposure to virtual content that causes undesirable accommodation-vergence mismatches (AVM). The display systems limit displaying content that exceeds an accommodation-vergence mismatch threshold, which may define a volume around the viewer. The volume may be subdivided into two or more zones, including an innermost loss-of-fusion zone (LoF) in which no content is displayed, and one or more outer AVM zones in which the displaying of content may be stopped, or clipped, under certain conditions. For example, content may be clipped if the viewer is verging within an AVM zone and if the content is displayed within the AVM zone for more than a threshold duration. A further possible condition for clipping content is that the user is verging on that content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Brian David Schwab, Randall E. Hand, Björn Nicolaas Servatius Vlaskamp

Publication number: 20220191645Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods relating to mobile computing. According to an example method, a first user location of a user of a mobile computing system is determined. A first communication device in proximity to the first user location is identified based on the first user location. A first signal is communicated to the first communication device. A first information payload based on the first user location is received from the first communication device, in response to the first communication device receiving the first signal. Video or audio data based on the first information payload is presented to the user at a first time during which the user is at the first user location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventor: Randall E.
