Abstract: A method and system for rendering an augmented reality scene on a mobile computing device tracks a real-world scene and/or a viewpoint of a user with one or more event-based vision sensors and blends an augmented reality scene displayed on the mobile computing device based on the viewpoint of the user and a scene map of the real-world scene and on the tracking of the one or more event-based vision sensors. Event-based vision sensors offer many advantages, mainly by intrinsically compressing the data stream and thus reducing the amount of data that a processing unit needs to perform. Furthermore, the event-based vision sensor pixels continuously sense the visual changes in the scene and report them with a very low latency. This makes the event-based vision sensor an ideal sensor for always-on tasks such as visual tracking and smart sensor control or data enhancement of secondary sensing modalities.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using a decentralized group of authentication server nodes to prevent singular dependence upon any given online platform for authenticating avatars. For each epoch duration of time, a consensus protocol operating on a blockchain is used to elect an authentication server node. The elected node can then act as an authentication server on behalf of the online platform for that fixed epoch duration of time. Within this epoch of time, a client device (e.g., used by a user to access an online platform) performs a periodic heartbeat authentication with the elected authentication server node using an efficient authentication protocol that relies on a keyed-hashing mechanism. A client device can use the described system and authentication methods concurrently with multiple different online platforms (e.g., separate metaverses or other virtual worlds).
