Using dynamic vision sensors for motion detection in head mounted displays

An apparatus comprising logic implemented at least partly in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic to:

• receive from a stereoscopic device a message indicating a change in a light level of one or more pixels, wherein the change in light level for each respective pixel of the one or more pixels is based only on the light level for that respective pixel;
• assemble only edges of an object based only on the change in the light level of each of the one or more pixels, the edges of the object including one or more of a leading edge and a trailing edge of the object;
• determine the one or more of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the object;
• and
• segment the object into expected gestures or control commands,
• wherein the stereoscopic device comprises a pair of dynamic vision sensors, and wherein the pair of dynamic vision sensors are arranged to provide spatially offset fields of view, and wherein a temporal and spatial correspondence between the pair of dynamic vision sensors allows for a correlation of one or more features within the object.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, when executed, cause a computing device to:

• receive from a stereoscopic device a message indicating a change in a light level of one or more pixels, wherein the change in light level for each respective pixel of the one or more pixels is based only on the light level for that respective pixel;
• assemble only edges of an object based only on the change in the light level of each of the one or more pixels, the edges of the object including one or more of a leading edge and a trailing edge of the object;
• determine the one or more of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the object;
• and
• segment the object into expected gestures or control commands,
• wherein the stereoscopic device comprises a pair of dynamic vision sensors, and wherein the pair of dynamic vision sensors are arranged to provide spatially offset fields of view, and wherein a temporal and spatial correspondence between the pair of dynamic vision sensors allows for a correlation of one or more features within the object.
