摘要： A head-mounted display device may display a holographic element with a portable control device. Image data of a physical environment including the control device may be received and used to generate a three dimensional model of at least a portion of the environment. Using position information of the control device, a holographic element is displayed with the control device. Using the position information, it is determined that the control device is within a predetermined proximity of either a holographic object or a physical object. Based on determining that the control device is within the predetermined proximity, the displayed holographic element is modified.

摘要： A mixed reality system may comprise a base station, affixed to an object, that emits an electromagnetic field (EMF) and a head-mounted display (HMD) device with a location sensor and an EMF sensor mounted a predetermined offset therefrom. The base station and EMF sensor together may form a magnetic tracking system. The HMD device may determine a relative location of the EMF sensor based on sensing the EMF and determine a location of the base station in space based on the relative location, the predetermined offset, and the location of the location sensor. An optical tracking system comprising a marker and an optical sensor may be included to augment the magnetic tracking system based on captured optical data and a location of the optical sensor or marker. The HMD device may display augmented reality images and overlay a hologram corresponding to the location of the base station over time.

摘要： A method for displaying virtual imagery on a stereoscopic display system having a display matrix. The virtual imagery presents a surface of individually renderable loci viewable to an eye of the user. The method includes, for each locus of the viewable surface, illuminating a pixel of the display matrix. The illuminated pixel is chosen based on a pupil position of the eye as determined by the stereoscopic display system. For each locus of the viewable surface, a virtual image of the illuminated pixel is formed in a plane in front of the eye. The virtual image is positioned on a straight line passing through the locus, the plane, and the pupil position. In this manner, the virtual image tracks change in the user's pupil position.

摘要： Various embodiments relating to creating a virtual shadow of an object in an image displayed with a see-through display are provided. In one embodiment, an image of a virtual object may be displayed with the see-through display. The virtual object may appear in front of a real-world background when viewed through the see-through display. A relative brightness of the real-world background around a virtual shadow of the virtual object may be increased when viewed through the see-through display. The virtual shadow may appear to result from a spotlight that is fixed relative to a vantage point of the see-through display.

摘要： Embodiments for interacting with an executable virtual object associated with a real object are disclosed. In one example, a method for interacting with an executable virtual object associated with a real object includes receiving sensor input from one or more sensors attached to the portable see-through display device, and obtaining information regarding a location of the user based on the sensor input. The method also includes, if the location includes a real object comprising an associated executable virtual object, then determining an intent of the user to interact with the executable virtual object, and if the intent to interact is determined, then interacting with the executable object.

摘要： Embodiments are disclosed that relate to operating a user interface on an augmented reality computing device comprising a display system. For example, one disclosed embodiment includes displaying a virtual object via the display system as free-floating, detecting a trigger to display the object as attached to a surface, and, in response to the trigger, displaying the virtual object as attached to the surface via the display system. The method may further include detecting a trigger to detach the virtual object from the surface and, in response to the trigger to detach the virtual object from the surface, detaching the virtual object from the surface and displaying the virtual object as free-floating.

摘要： A system and related methods for visually augmenting an appearance of a physical environment as seen by a user through a head-mounted display device are provided. In one embodiment, a virtual environment generating program receives eye-tracking information, lighting information, and depth information from the head-mounted display. The program generates a virtual environment that models the physical environment and is based on the lighting information and the distance of a real-world object from the head-mounted display. The program visually augments a virtual object representation in the virtual environment based on the eye-tracking information, and renders the virtual object representation on a transparent display of the head-mounted display device.

摘要： A mixed reality system may comprise a head-mounted display (HMD) device with a location sensor from which the HMD device determines a location of the location sensor in space and a base station mounted a predetermined offset from the location sensor and configured to emit an electromagnetic field (EMF). An EMF sensor affixed to an object may be configured to sense a strength of the EMF. The HMD device may determine a location of the EMF sensor relative to the base station based on the sensed strength and determine a location of the EMF sensor in space based on the relative location, the predetermined offset, and the location of the location sensor in space. In some aspects, the HMD device may comprise a see-through display configured to display augmented reality images and overlay a hologram that corresponds to the location of the EMF sensor in space over time.
