Abstract
Implementations of the subject technology provide extended reality display devices that can be used on and/or off of a moving platform. Systems and methods are disclosed for separating out the motion of the moving platform from other motions of the device so that virtual content can be displayed without erroneous motions caused by the motion of the moving platform. The subject technology can provide extended reality settings on any suitable moveable platform such as in a car, a watercraft, an aircraft, a train, or any other vehicle.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by an electronic device, inertial data from an inertial sensor of the electronic device;
- and
- operating the electronic device based on the inertial data while the electronic device is disposed on a moveable platform during various motion states of the moveable platform, in part by modifying the usage of the inertial data according to a current motion state of the moveable platform.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- an inertial sensor;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- obtain inertial data from the inertial sensor;
- and
- operate the electronic device based on the inertial data while the electronic device is disposed on a moveable platform during various motion states of the moveable platform, in part by modifying the usage of the inertial data according to a current motion state of the moveable platform.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- operate, for a first period of time, a first simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) system of an electronic device;
- control, during the first period of time, an output of the electronic device using the first SLAM system;
- detect, with the electronic device, a change in a motion state of the electronic device;
- switch, responsive to detecting the change in the motion state, from the first SLAM system to a second simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) system of the electronic device;
- and
- control, during a second period of time, the output of the electronic device using the second SLAM system.
