  • Patent number: 9658476
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling a bias voltage supplied to an optical modulator, the modulator comprising a biasable component, the biasable component being configurable to be biased by application of the bias voltage (20) such that the modulator operates at quadrature, the method comprising: providing a target for the output power of the modulator, the target for the output power of the modulator being an output power corresponding to the modulator operating at quadrature; applying, to the biasable component, a bias voltage (20) having an initial value of 0V; and, thereafter, varying the bias voltage (20) until the value of the bias voltage (20) is the value that is closest to the initial value and that biases the biasable component so that the output power of the modulator is within a pre-defined range of the target output power.

  • Patent number: 9652893
    Abstract: Embodiments are described herein for determining a stabilization plane to reduce errors that occur when a homographic transformation is applied to a scene including 3D geometry and/or multiple non-coplanar planes. Such embodiments can be used, e.g., when displaying an image on a head mounted display (HMD) device, but are not limited thereto. In an embodiment, a rendered image is generated, a gaze location of a user is determined, and a stabilization plane, associated with a homographic transformation, is determined based on the determined gaze location. This can involve determining, based on the user's gaze location, variables of the homographic transformation that define the stabilization plane. The homographic transformation is applied to the rendered image to thereby generate an updated image, and at least a portion of the updated image is then displayed.

  • Patent number: 9639985
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for detecting angular displacement of a display element relative to a reference position on a head mounted display device for presenting a mixed reality or virtual reality experience. Once the displacement is detected, it may be corrected for to maintain the proper binocular disparity of virtual images displayed to the left and right display elements of the head mounted display device. In one example, the detection system uses an optical assembly including collimated LEDs and a camera which together are insensitive to linear displacement. Such a system provides a true measure of angular displacement of one or both display elements on the head mounted display device.

  • Publication number: 20160196633
    Abstract: A graphics processing system for processing polygons includes a cache with cache lines for storing data entries, each line having a tag for identifying the data stored in the line. The polygons have vertices with which pieces of vertex attribute data are associated. The system also includes processing circuitry which writes, to a line in a first set of lines, data entries associated with pieces of vertex attribute data. The pieces of vertex attribute data are associated with the vertices of a polygon. The processing circuitry also writes a tag including a polygon identifier to identify the polygon associated with the data entries to the line in the first set of lines, and writes, to a second set of lines of the cache, data entries associated with pieces of vertex attribute data. The processing circuitry also writes tags including vertex identifiers to the second set of lines to identify the vertices associated with the data entries.
