Abstract
Example virtual reality systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a camera captures 6DOF (6 Degrees of Freedom) 3D (Three-Dimensional) videos while the camera is in motion. A rendering system renders the 6DOF 3D videos while minimizing vestibulo-ocular conflict. A virtual reality system presents the rendered 6DOF 3D videos to a user of the virtual reality system.
Claims9
An apparatus comprising:
- a camera to capture 6DOF (6 Degrees of Freedom) 3D (Three-Dimensional) videos while the camera is in motion;
- a rendering system coupled to the camera and configured to render the 6DOF 3D videos while minimizing vestibulo-ocular conflict, wherein minimizing vestibulo-ocular conflict includes:
- estimating an orientation of gravity relative to the camera;
- and
- adjusting a rotation of the rendered 6DOF 3D videos, based on the estimated orientation of gravity, to maintain a level horizon;
- and
- a virtual reality system coupled to the rendering system and configured to present the rendered 6DOF 3D videos to a user of the virtual reality system.
