Abstract
A virtual reality (VR) and/or augmented reality (AR) display system is configured to control a display using control information that is embedded in or otherwise included with imagery data to be presented through the display. The control information can indicate depth plane(s) and/or color plane(s) to be used to present the imagery data, depth plane(s) and/or color plane(s) to be activated or inactivated, shift(s) of at least a portion of the imagery data (e.g., one or more pixels) laterally within a depth plane and/or longitudinally between depth planes, and/or other suitable controls.
Claims20
A virtual or augmented reality display system comprising:
- a display configured to display imagery for a plurality of depth planes;
- a display controller configured to receive rendered virtual or augmented reality imagery data from a graphics processor, and to control the display based at least in part on control information embedded in the rendered imagery,
- wherein the embedded control information indicates a shift to apply to at least a portion of the rendered imagery when displaying the imagery, and
- wherein the shift comprises a longitudinal shift of at least a portion of the rendered imagery from one depth plane to another.
A method in a virtual or augmented reality display system, the method comprising:
- receiving rendered virtual or augmented reality imagery data from a graphics processor;
- and
- displaying the imagery for a plurality of depth planes based at least in part on control information embedded in the rendered imagery,
- wherein the embedded control information indicates a shift to apply to at least a portion of the rendered imagery when displaying the imagery,
- wherein shifting the displayed position comprises longitudinally shifting at least a portion of the rendered imagery from one depth plane to another based on the control information.
