  • Publication number: 20220094981
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220091808
    Abstract: A communications system including: first and second communications devices, each communications device including an antenna, a location system that determines a location of at least one of the first and second communications devices, a control system that receives a location indication indicative of the location from the location system, determines a relative location of the first and second communications devices and selectively controls a transmitting antenna of at least one of the first and second communications devices in accordance with the relative position to thereby optimise communication between the first and second communications devices.

  • Publication number: 20200366899
    Abstract: A method of compressing image data representing one or more images, the method including obtaining pixel data from the image data, the pixel data representing an pixel array within the one or more images, applying a transformation to the pixel data to determine a set of frequency coefficients indicative of frequency coefficients of the pixel array, encoding a selected subset of the set of frequency coefficients, generating an index indicative of the encoded frequency coefficients and generating compressed image data using the encoded frequency coefficients and the index.

  • Publication number: 20200226795
    Abstract: A method of compressing image data from one or more images forming part of the digital reality content, the method including obtaining pixel data from the image data, the pixel data representing an array of pixels within the one or more images; determining a position of the array of pixels within the one or more images relative to a defined position, the defined position being at least partially indicative of a point of gaze of the user, and compressing the pixel data at least partially in accordance to the determined position so that a degree of compression depends on the determined position of the array of pixels.

  • Publication number: 20200145696
    Abstract: A method of compressing image data from images forming part of a digital content stream, the method including for a sequence of n images within the digital content stream, obtaining image data for each of the n images and compressing the image data for at least some of the n images using a respective compression scheme.

  • Publication number: 20190369942
    Abstract: A system for displaying content to a plurality of users in a multiplayer venue including: a plurality of wearable display systems, each display system being worn by a user, a content system that generates a plurality of content streams, each content stream being associated with a corresponding display system, a location system that detects a location of each display system within the venue, a transmission system including a number of transmission system antennas that wirelessly communicate with the display systems to transmit content to the wearable display systems and to receive data from the wearable display systems and a control system that determines the location of each display system within the venue from the location system and selectively controls transmitting antennas in accordance with the location of each display system to transmit each content stream to the corresponding display system or receive data from a corresponding display system.
