Abstract
There is provided a system and method for reinstating directionality of onscreen displays of three-dimensional (3D) imagery using sensor data capturing eye location of a user. The method can include: receiving the sensor data capturing the eye location of the user; tracking the location of the eyes of the user relative to a screen using the captured sensor data; determining an updated rendering of the onscreen imagery using off-axis projective geometry based on the tracked location of the eyes of the user to simulate an angled viewpoint of the onscreen imagery from the perspective of the location of the user; and outputting the updated rendering of the onscreen imagery on a display screen.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for reinstating directionality of onscreen displays of three-dimensional (3D) imagery using sensor data capturing eye location of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving the sensor data capturing the eye location of the user;
- tracking the location of the eyes of the user relative to a screen using the captured sensor data;
- determining an updated rendering of the onscreen imagery using off-axis projective geometry based on the tracked location of the eyes of the user to simulate an angled viewpoint of the onscreen imagery from the perspective of the location of the user;
- and
- outputting the updated rendering of the onscreen imagery on a display screen.
A system for reinstating directionality of onscreen displays of three-dimensional (3D) imagery using sensor data capturing eye location of a user, the system comprising one or more processors in communication with a memory storage, the one or more processors configured to execute:
- an input module to receive, from a sensor, the sensor data capturing the eye location of the user;
- a tracking module to track the location of the eyes of the user relative to the sensor using the captured sensor data;
- a rendering module to determine an updated rendering of the onscreen imagery using off-axis projective geometry based on the tracked location of the eyes of the user to simulate an angled viewpoint of the onscreen imagery from the perspective of the tracked location of the user;
- and
- an output module to output the updated rendering of the onscreen imagery on a display screen.
