Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
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.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for visually augmenting an appearance of a physical environment including a real-world object as seen by a user through a transparent display in a head-mounted display device, comprising: receiving eye-tracking information from an eye-tracking system in the head-mounted display device; determining from the eye-tracking information that the user is looking at a virtual object representation; receiving lighting information from an optical se…
