  • Apparatus and method for dynamic reflecting car mirrors in virtual reality applications in head mounted displays
    Patent number: 10453262
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the creation of dynamically reflecting car mirrors in a virtual application using a proprietary layered panorama method. This approach utilizes the panoramic background as a source image for the reflection and specially produced masks for the mirrors in each stereo panoramic vehicle image.

  • Stereo user interface elements placed in 3D space for virtual reality applications in head mounted displays
    Patent number: 10225655
    Abstract: A method to create a seamlessly immersive experience by having stereo components placed in 3D space, keeping realism and engagement as high as possible, to simulate virtual reality applications in a head mounted display. The method involves a placement of stereo user interface elements in 3D space for use in a virtual reality applications using a proprietary layered panoramas method. The invention utilizes a placement into 3D space, flat 2D stereoscopic user interface elements so that they fit in an immersive experience and appear to match in a z depth plane for the experience.
