    Abstract: Disclosed are a spatial positioning method of a separate virtual system, and a separate virtual system. The spatial positioning method of the separated virtual system provided by the present application, when the mobile terminal is attached to the virtual head-mounted display device and the mobile terminal performs the virtual mode, the 3DOF is determined from the first image captured by the camera, and the rotational freedom degree is obtained based on the first inertial sensor, so the spatial positioning of the virtual head-mounted display device is determined, and the spatial positioning accuracy of the mobile terminal. In addition, the man-machine interaction based on the spatial positioning enhances the game experience, thereby enhancing the performance of the head-mounted reality device separate from the mobile terminal.

    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for attention evaluation by an extended reality system. In some examples, the system determines one or more regions of interest (ROI) for an image displayed to a user. The system may also receive eye tracking information indicating an area of the image that the user is looking at. The system may further generate focus statistics based on the area of the image at which the user is looking at and the one or more ROI; and output the generated focus statistics.

  • Publication number: 20240036641
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a wearable device performs a visual test that includes simultaneously presenting a first eye stimulus for a first eye of a user of the device and a second eye stimulus for a second eye of the user, where the first eye stimulus has a display characteristic level greater than a display characteristic level of the second eye stimulus. The display characteristic level of the first eye stimulus and second eye stimulus are sequentially increased until feedback information indicates detection of at least one of the first eye stimulus or the second eye stimulus by the user. In response to the feedback information indicating such detection by the user, the other stimulus is presented at one or more sequentially increasing display characteristic levels until the feedback information indicates detection of the other stimulus. Ocular anomaly information of the user is generated based on the feedback information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a display in a vehicle are provided. The display is configured to present information in one or more regions of the display. The position of a user in the vehicle is detected and based on detecting a change in position of the user, the position of information on the display may be adjusted. For example, when the change in position of the user causes information on the display to be obstructed, the position of the information may be adjusted to an unobstructed region of the display.

  • Publication number: 20240036645
    Abstract: A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HAMID-to-eye vertical alignment may be different between the left and right eyes. The wearable device may determine if the HMD is level on the user's head and may then provide the user with a left-eye alignment marker and a right-eye alignment marker. Based on user feedback, the wearable device may determine if there is any left-right vertical misalignment and may take actions to reduce or minimize the effects of any misalignment.
