Publication number: 20230394748Abstract: A distributed rendering and display system comprises a host device for rendering z-buffers from a scene, a set of pipeline rendering devices, and a set of display devices. Each pipeline rendering device is remotely connected to the host device. Each display device is remotely connected to a pipeline rendering device in the set of pipeline rendering devices. Each rendered z-buffer from the scene is associated with a display view perspective of the scene. Each display device in the set of display devices provides display view perspectives of the scene to one or more users.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Holochip CorporationInventors: Steven WINSTON, Samuel T. ROBINSON, Robert G. BATCHKO

Patent number: 11783537Abstract: A rendering system comprises a host device disposed in communication with one or more rendering pipelines. Each rendering pipeline comprises a rendering device and a display device. Each display device enables one or more users to view a scene rendered on the host device. Each rendering pipeline provides the user with independent control of their perspective of the scene. The host device receives a CG camera definition from each rendering pipeline and uses it to perform geometry culling and creates a z-buffer for each rendering pipeline. For each rendering pipeline, the rendering device receives a z-buffer and renders a frame buffer for the display device. This architecture reduces the rendering power requirements of the rendering device for each rendering pipeline as compared to performing all rendering on the rendering device, and is particularly useful when multiple users are viewing a complex scene such as a high fidelity simulation environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Holochip CorporationInventors: Steven Winston, Samuel T. Robinson, Robert G. Batchko

Patent number: 11668946Abstract: An interactive display includes a display capable of generating displayed images, and first and second eyepiece assemblies each including one or more variable-focus lenses. The eyepiece assemblies, variable-focus lenses and display allow the user to perceive a virtual 3D image while providing visual depth cues that cause the eyes to accommodate at a specified fixation distance. The fixation distance can be adjusted by changing the focal power of the variable-focus lenses.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Holochip CorporationInventors: Samuel T. Robinson, Robert G. Batchko, David Antonio Perez

Patent number: 10401537Abstract: A fluidic lens may include an optical surface configured for deflection dominated by bending stress. An adjustable concentric load may be applied to the optical surface to cause a clear aperture region of the optical surface to deflect with generally spherical curvature. Adjusting the concentric load controls the radius of curvature. An adjustable uniformly-distributed load may be applied to the optical surface by fluid pressure that causes the clear aperture region to deflect with an aspheric shape. Adjusting the pressure controls the asphericity of curvature. First and second fluids having similar densities and different refractive indexes may be disposed on either side of a deflectable optical surface to help balance gravitational loading on either side of the optical surface, thereby reducing gravity-associated aberrations.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: HOLOCHIP CORPORATIONInventors: Robert G. Batchko, Andrei Szilagyi, Samuel T. Robinson
