Abstract: A mixed reality system that includes a device and a base station that communicate via a wireless connection The device may include sensors that collect information about the user's environment and about the user. The information collected by the sensors may be transmitted to the base station via the wireless connection. The base station renders frames or slices based at least in part on the sensor information received from the device, encodes the frames or slices, and transmits the compressed frames or slices to the device for decoding and display. The base station may provide more computing power than conventional stand-alone systems, and the wireless connection does not tether the device to the base station as in conventional tethered systems. The system may implement methods and apparatus to maintain a target frame rate through the wireless link and to minimize latency in frame rendering, transmittal, and display.

Abstract: Various implementations provided herein provide a computer-generated reality (CGR) experience on a head mounted device (HMD) that includes intentionally blurring virtual content to provide a more natural user experience. For example, while the user is focused on an object 10 feet away, a virtual object 3 feet away that is not focused upon but still visible may be intentionally blurred so that it does not appear crisp. The blurring depends on the distance of what the user is focusing on and the distance of the virtual object that the user is not focusing on. The CGR environment may involve virtual reality, mixed reality, optical see through, or video pass through.

Abstract: Some implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that display images at multiple focus distances on HMDs. The systems can avoid or mitigate vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) and depth-blur conflict (DBC) experienced by users on traditional HMDs. Some implementations use a geometric phase lens and a circular polarization switch. The geometric phase lens passively changes its power depending on the light's circular polarization. The circular polarization switch changes the polarization of the light at appropriate times. With the circular polarization switch and geometric phase lens positioned over an HMD screen, the system can quickly change the apparent distance to the screen, which in turn changes the accommodative state of the eye needed to focus on the rendered image.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying overlapping objects is performed at a device including an optical see-through display, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining a request to display a first object in front of a second object. The method includes modifying a transparency of the first object in a region corresponding to an overlap between the first object and the second object. The method includes displaying the first object in front of the second object while maintaining visibility of the second object through the overlap between the first object and the second object based on the modified transparency.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for presenting content based on environmental data. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining environmental data associated with a physical environment in which the device is located. In some implementations, the method includes selecting, from a plurality of presentation modes, a first presentation mode for content based on the environmental data. In some implementations, the method includes presenting the content in accordance with the first presentation mode.

Abstract: Eye tracking is performed by determining an initial pupil position of a user in relation to a lens situated in front of the user, detecting a change in pupil position in relation to the lens to an updated pupil position in relation to the lens, and determining that the updated pupil position is outside a bounding box associated with the lens. The updated pupil position is a replacement pupil position with a replacement pupil position within the bounding box associated with the lens, and the updated pupil position is utilized for eye-tracking functionality. Eye tracking is also performed by determining that a first pixel associated with a gaze direction is outside a visibility region, identifying a replacement pixel within the visibility region, determining an updated gaze angle based on the replacement pixel, and performing eye tracking using the updated gaze angle.
