Generation and rendering of extended-view geometries in video see-through (vst) augmented reality (ar) systems

An augmented reality (AR) device comprising:

• imaging sensors configured to capture multiple see-through image frames of an environment around the AR device;
• one or more displays;
• and
• at least one processing device configured to:
• generate a depth map based on the see-through image frames;
• generate a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the environment based on the depth map;
• project the 3D representation onto a curved surface;
• map points of the projected 3D representation to multiple virtual view images;
• and
• initiate presentation of the virtual view images on the one or more displays.

A non-transitory machine readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause at least one processor of an augmented reality (AR) device to:

• obtain multiple see-through image frames of an environment around the AR device using multiple imaging sensors of the AR device;
• generate a depth map based on the see-through image frames;
• generate a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the environment based on the depth map;
• project the 3D representation onto a curved surface;
• map points of the projected 3D representation to multiple virtual view images;
• and
• initiate presentation of the virtual view images on one or more displays of the AR device.
