Abstract
Various systems and methods for displaying a rearview camera feed in a head-mounted display are described herein. A system for displaying a rearview camera feed in a head-mounted display (HMD) comprises a display surface, a motion detector to detect a head movement of a user of the head-mounted display, the head movement having a spatial direction, a gaze detection unit to detect an eye gaze of the user, a camera interface to receive visual data from a rear-facing camera array, and a presentation module to display a presentation on the display surface when the direction of the head movement is consistent with the eye gaze, the presentation including the visual data from the rear-facing camera array.
Claims27
A system for displaying a rearview camera feed in a head-mounted display (HMD), the system comprising:
- a display surface;
- a motion detector to detect a head movement of a user of the head-mounted display, the head movement having a spatial direction;
- a gaze detection unit to detect an eye gaze of the user;
- a camera interface to receive visual data from a rear-facing camera array;
- and
- a presentation module to display a presentation on the display surface when the direction of the head movement is consistent with a direction of the eye gaze, the presentation including the visual data selected from a camera from the rear-facing camera array, and that provides a video feed consistent with the direction of the head movement and the eye gaze.
At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations of:
- detecting at the HMD, a head movement of a user of the head-mounted display, the head movement having a spatial direction;
- detecting at the HMD, an eye gaze of the user;
- receiving visual data from a rear-facing camera array;
- and
- displaying a presentation from the HMD to the user when the direction of the head movement is consistent with a direction of the eye gaze, the presentation including the visual data selected from a camera from the rear-facing camera array, and that provides a video feed consistent with the direction of the head movement and the eye gaze.
A system for displaying a rearview camera feed in a head-mounted display (HMD), the system comprising:
- a processor subsystem;
- and
- a memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to:
- detect at the HMD, a head movement of a user of the head-mounted display, the head movement having a spatial direction;
- detect at the HMD, an eye gaze of the user;
- receive visual data from a rear-facing camera array;
- and
- display a presentation from the HMD to the user when the direction of the head movement is consistent with a direction of the eye gaze, the presentation including the visual data selected from a camera from the rear-facing camera array, and that provides a video feed consistent with the direction of the head movement and the eye gaze.
A method of displaying a rearview camera feed in a head-mounted display (HMD), the method comprising:
- detecting at the HMD, a head movement of a user of the head-mounted display, the head movement having a spatial direction;
- detecting at the HMD, an eye gaze of the user;
- receiving visual data from a rear-facing camera array;
- and
- displaying a presentation from the HMD to the user when the direction of the head movement is consistent with a direction of the eye gaze, the presentation including the visual data selected from a camera from the rear-facing camera array, and that provides a video feed consistent with the direction of the head movement and the eye gaze.
