  • Patent number: 10832480
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed apparatuses, methods and systems provide manipulation of a virtual world three dimensional (3D) space based on input translated from the real world. Elements in the virtual world may have an associated charge and field. An element in the virtual world becomes interactive with an element translated from the real world when the translated real world element interacts with a field associated with the virtual element according to the charges. Forces may be applied to the virtual element using a real world physics model to determine a response by the virtual element to the applied force.

  • Patent number: 10565779
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed apparatuses, methods and systems provide elimination of distortion induced by an optical system that reflects light from an image source. An inverse mapping of the distortion is created for the optical system. The display system applies the inverse mapping to an image prior to display to introduce a distortion to the displayed image that is the inverse of the distortion introduced by the optical system. As a result, the distortion in the displayed image is canceled by the distortion of the optical element providing the user with an image that is substantially distortion free.

  • Patent number: 10473935
    Abstract: A system to provide views of virtual content in an interactive space, e.g., an augmented reality environment, may comprise one or more of a light source, directional control device, variable power lens, beam steering device, optical element, and/or one or more physical processors. A light source may generate collimated light rays in accordance with virtual content to be perceived within a three-dimensional light field. A directional control device may controllable adjust direction of travel of collimated light rays toward a beam steering device. A variable power lens may be positioned to receive collimated light rays between a light source and a directional control device. A beam steering device may be configured to direct collimated light rays to locations on an optical element. An optical element may be configured to reflect collimated light rays in a focal plane of a perceived three-dimensional light field.

  • Publication number: 20190197782
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating user interaction with virtual objects in an augmented reality environment are provided. Three-dimensional point cloud information from a three-dimensional volumetric imaging sensor may be obtained. An object position of a virtual object may be determined. Individual potential force vectors for potential forces exerted on the virtual object may be determined. An individual potential force vector may be defined by one or more of a magnitude, a direction, and/or other information. An aggregate scalar magnitude of the individual potential force vectors may be determined. An aggregate potential force vector may be determined by aggregating the magnitudes and directions of the individual potential force vectors. It may be determined whether the potential forces exerted on the virtual object are conflicting.

  • Patent number: 9990872
    Abstract: A system configured for providing views of virtual content in an augmented reality environment may comprise one or more of a first display, a second display, an optical element, one or more processors, and/or other components. The first display and second display may be separated by a separation distance. The first display and second display may be arranged such that rays of light emitted from pixels of the first display may travel through the second display, then reflect off the optical element and into a user's eyes. A three-dimensional light field perceived with a user's field-of-view may be generated. Distances of the first display and/or second display to the optical element may impact a perceived range of the three-dimensional light field. The separation distance may impact a perceived depth of the three-dimensional light field and/or a resolution of virtual content perceived with the three-dimensional light field.
