Head-Mounted Device with Spatially Aware Camera Adjustments - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455476 titled 'Head-Mounted Device with Spatially Aware Camera Adjustments
Simplified Explanation
The head-mounted device described in the patent application includes sensors for capturing images of the real-world environment and determining the device's orientation within that environment. These sensors can create a lighting map showing the location of light sources and a physical map representing the environment's geometry. Additionally, the sensors can predict the direction in which the device will be facing in the future. One sensor, an image sensor, captures images displayed to the user and can adjust its settings based on the lighting map and predicted orientation.
- Head-mounted device with sensors for image capture and orientation detection

Original Abstract Submitted
A head-mounted device may include one or more sensors for capturing images of a real-world environment and for determining where the head-mounted device is facing in the real-world environment. The sensors can be used to capture images for creating a lighting map that indicates where one or more light sources are located within the environment and for creating a physical map representing a geometry of the environment. The sensors can be used to predict a direction in which the head-mounted device will be facing in the real-world environment. One of the sensors can include an image sensor for capturing images that are displayed to a user of the head-mounted device. One or more settings of the image sensor can be adjusted based on the lighting map and based on the predicted direction of where the head-mounted device will be facing when capturing a future frame.
