Patent number: 11835737Abstract: An example of an image display system includes a goggles apparatus and is capable of setting an angle of view of a virtual camera disposed in a virtual space to a first angle of view or a second angle of view smaller than the first angle of view. If the angle of view of the virtual camera is set to the first angle of view, the image display system sets a parallax between an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye to a first parallax. If the angle of view of the virtual camera is set to the second angle of view, the image display system sets the parallax between the image for a left eye and the image for a right eye to a second parallax smaller than the first parallax.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: NINTENDO CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Iwata, Ryuhei Matsuura

Patent number: 11723726Abstract: Systems and methods to track objects within an operating room with a navigation system that includes an optical sensor including sensing elements and a controller in communication with the optical sensor. The controller controls the optical sensor to process a first quantity of the sensing elements to view a first region of interest. The object is tracked within the first region of interest with the optical sensor. The controller obtains data related to the object within the operating room. The data may include a type of the object and/or prior pose data of the object being tracked. Based on the data, the controller controls the optical sensor to process a second quantity of the sensing elements, different from the first quantity, to view a second region of interest different from the first region of interest. The object is tracked within the second region of interest with the optical sensor.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Jochen Breisacher, David Hofmann, Emeric Umbdenstock, Jonathan Morgan, Paul Hoekstra

Patent number: 8314832Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating stereoscopic images for a user based on one or more images captured by one or more scene-facing cameras or detectors and the position of the user's eyes or other parts relative to a component of the system as determined from one or more images captured by one or more user-facing detectors. The image captured by the scene-facing detector is modified based on the user's eye or other position. The resulting image represents the scene as seen from the perspective of the eye of the user. The resulting image may be further modified by augmenting the image with additional images, graphics, or other data. Stereoscopic mechanisms may also be adjusted or configured based on the location or the user's eyes or other parts.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Samuel A.

Publication number: 20120224038Abstract: An autostereoscopic display system comprised of an array of vertically oriented narrow light sources and a spatial light modulator, (SLM), disposed between the lights and viewers, whereby light rays originating from the lights and passing through the SLM are vertically dispersed by a vertical dispersion panel. The lights are sequentially flashed, sending light through the SLM where selected full height narrow vertical picture lines, VPL's, are made briefly transmissive while the remainder of the SLM remains dark, projecting vertically oriented sheets of light through selected VPL's toward selected eyes. The light sheets are sufficiently narrow as to enter a left or right eye but not both, while the entire height of selected VPL's is visible due to said vertical dispersion. The process rapidly repeats for all VPL's and all array lights, alternating between right/left SLM scenes each projected into appropriately selected eyes resulting in a 3D image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2011Publication date: September 6, 2012Inventor: Alexander Roth
