Patent number: 11935180Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting virtual content on a wearable head device. In some embodiments, a state of a wearable head device is determined by minimizing a total error based on a reduced weight associated with a reprojection error. A view reflecting the determined state of the wearable head device is presented via a display of the wearable head device. In some embodiments, a wearable head device calculates a preintegration term based on the image data received via a sensor of the wearable head device and the inertial data received via a first IMU and a second IMU of the wearable head device. The wearable head device estimates a position of the device based on the preintegration term, and the wearable head device presents the virtual content based on the position of the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Yu-Hsiang Huang, Evan Gregory Levine, Igor Napolskikh, Dominik Michael Kasper, Manel Quim Sanchez Nicuesa, Sergiu Sima, Benjamin Langmann, Ashwin Swaminathan, Martin Georg Zahnert, Blazej Marek Czuprynski, Joao Antonio Pereira Faro, Christoph Tobler, Omid Ghasemalizadeh
