Abstract
Systems and methods for coordinate override in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a first Head-Mounted Device (HMD) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the first HMD to: receive a position of a second HMD; and display an xR environment generated using the position of the second HMD.
Claims14
A first Head-Mounted Device (HMD), comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the first HMD to:
- receive a position of a second HMD;
- receive a second HMD gaze vector from the second HMD;
- render a virtual, augmented, or mixed (xR) environment using the position of the second HMD and the second HMD gaze vector;
- and
- display the environment, wherein the position of the second HMD is received via a first transport channel, and wherein the second HMD gaze vector is received via a second transport channel different from the first transport channel.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first Head-Mounted Device (HMD), a second set of HMD coordinates describing a physical location of a second HMD;
- receiving a second HMD gaze vector from the second HMD describing a gaze direction of a wearer of the second HMD;
- rendering a virtual, augmented, or mixed (xR) video frame using the second set of HMD coordinates and the second HMD gaze vector;
- and
- displaying, by the first HMD, the xR video frame, wherein the second set of HMD coordinates is received via a first transport channel, and wherein the second HMD gaze vector is received via a second transport channel different from the first transport channel.
A hardware memory device of a first Head-Mounted Device (HMD) having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a hardware processor, cause the first HMD to:
- receive a second set of HMD coordinates describing a physical location of a second HMD;
- receive a second HMD gaze vector from the second HMD describing a gaze direction of a wearer of the second HMD;
- render a virtual, augmented, or mixed (xR) video frame using the second set of HMD coordinates and the second HMD gaze vector;
- display the xR video frame, wherein the second set of HMD coordinates is received via a first transport channel, and wherein the second HMD gaze vector is received via a second transport channel different from the first channel.
