Abstract
Some embodiments of a method may include: identifying two-dimensional (2D) content present in an image of a real-world scene; retrieving metadata comprising depth information associated with the 2D content; generating a plurality of focal plane images using the metadata, the plurality of focal plane images comprising depth cues for the 2D content; and displaying the plurality of focal plane images as a see-through overlay synchronized with the 2D content.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, using a camera coupled to a head-mounted display (HMD), two-dimensional (2D) content displayed on a screen external to the HMD;
- obtaining depth information associated with the 2D content;
- generating a plurality of focal plane images using the depth information, the plurality of focal plane images comprising depth cues for the 2D content;
- and
- adapting to display the plurality of focal plane images as a see-through overlay synchronized with the 2D content.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a camera;
- a multi-focal plane display;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operative, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
- identify, using a camera coupled to a head-mounted display (HMD), two-dimensional (2D) content displayed on a screen external to the HMD;
- obtain depth information associated with the 2D content;
- generate a plurality of focal plane images using the depth information, the plurality of focal plane images comprising depth cues for the 2D content;
- and
- adapt to display the plurality of focal plane images as a see-through overlay synchronized with the 2D content.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- detecting, using a camera coupled to a head-mounted display (HMD), presence, spatial position, and orientation information relating to 2D video content displayed on a 2D display external to the HMD;
- receiving 3D video information corresponding to the 2D video content;
- synchronizing in time the 3D video information with the 2D video content;
- tracking the spatial position information and orientation information relating to the 2D video content;
- decomposing the 3D video information into a plurality of focal plane images;
- filtering one or more of the plurality of focal plane images to remove one or more respective low frequency representations from the plurality of focal plane images;
- and
- adapting to display the filtered focal plane images.
