Appl. No.:

17/397437

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
Maxime Meilland - Sunnyvale CA, US
Patrick W. O'Keefe - Mountain View CA, US

International Classification:

G06T 15/08
G02B 27/01
G06F 3/01
G06T 17/20
G06T 19/00

Abstract:

In one implementation, a method includes: obtaining locality data characterizing objects and relative spatial information of a volumetric region around a user; synthesizing a mesh map of the volumetric region based on the locality data; selecting synthesized reality (SR) content based on the mesh map, wherein the SR content satisfies a dimensional variance threshold relative to one or more portions of the mesh map; compositing at least a portion of the SR content with the mesh map in order to generate composite SR content; and presenting the composite SR content to the user in order to occlude at least a portion of a visual presentation of the volumetric region. In some implementations, the SR content is adapted to fit the one or more portions of the mesh map. In some implementations, the SR content is updated as the user location changes or the user interacts with the SR content.

G06T 7/70

Abstract:

A computer system displays a representation of a camera field of view and receives one or more inputs corresponding to a request to display the representation of the field of view based on a physical object at a first pose, a virtual object at a simulated second pose, and the one or more cameras at a third pose in a physical environment. In response, if a first portion of the virtual object corresponds to physical space that is occluded by the physical object, the system: displays the representation of the physical object; forgoes displaying the first portion of the virtual object; and, if a second portion of the virtual object corresponds to physical space that is not occluded, displays the second portion, including visually deemphasizing a displayed first region of the second portion relative to a displayed second region of the second portion of the virtual object.

Abstract:

A method for reducing power consumption of a 3D image capture system includes capturing 3D image data with the 3D image capture system while the 3D image capture system is in a first power state, detecting a power state change trigger, and switching from the first power state to a second power state based on the power state change trigger, wherein the 3D image capture system consumes less power in the second power state than in the first power state.
