Patent number: 11973979Abstract: A method of displaying images forming part of a digital reality stream, the method including, for each image to be displayed in one or more encoder processing devices, generating compressed image data by differentially compressing image data indicative of the image in accordance with system operation and the content of the digital reality stream so that different parts of the image are compressed using a different degree of compression, wirelessly transmitting the compressed image data to a display device using a wireless communications link, and, in one or more decoder processing devices associated with the display device, differentially decompressing the compressed image data to thereby generate image data indicative of the image to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: IMMERSIVE ROBOTICS PTY LTDInventors: Daniel Liam Fitzgerald, Timothy Simon Lucas, Rodney Ian Lamb

Publication number: 20230395041Abstract: A system for displaying content the system including a display device including a display buffer configured to store image data and a display configured to display an image using image data stored in the display buffer. The system includes an input buffer configured to progressively receive a stream of encoded image data portions, each encoded image data portion defining an image data portion indicative of a respective image portion and store each encoded image data portion. A decoder is configured to progressively decode each encoded image data portion to generate a respective image data portion and write each image data portion to the display buffer to thereby progressively construct image data in the display buffer. A display controller is configured to cause the display to display an image based on image data stored in the display buffer so as to dynamically adjust a frame rate at which images are displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Daniel Liam FITZGERALD, Rodney Ian LAMB
