Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods for tracking the head position of an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) relative to the HMD are described. In some embodiments, the HMD may determine an initial head tracking vector associated with an initial head position of the end user relative to the HMD, determine one or more head tracking vectors corresponding with one or more subsequent head positions of the end user relative to the HMD, track head movements of the end user over time based on the initial head tracking vector and the one or more head tracking vectors, and adjust positions of virtual objects displayed to the end user based on the head movements. In some embodiments, the resolution and/or number of virtual objects generated and displayed to the end user may be modified based on a degree of head movement of the end user relative to the HMD.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device for displaying an augmented reality environment, comprising: one or more processors, the one or more processors determine an initial head position of an end user of the electronic device relative to the electronic device at a first point in time, the one or more processors render a first image associated with a virtual object based on the initial head position, the one or more processors determine a second head position of the end user r…
