GAZE-AWARE TONE MAPPING AND CHROMATIC ADAPTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029218 titled 'GAZE-AWARE TONE MAPPING AND CHROMATIC ADAPTATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a system that uses gaze direction information to perform tone mapping or chromatic adaptation for virtual reality (VR) environments. The system includes a processor and memory storing instructions. When the processor executes the instructions, the system determines the user's focus location within a physical environment and receives an image corresponding to the physical environment. The system then determines a visual property of the physical environment corresponding to the user's focus location and modifies the color mapping of a region of the image based on the determined visual property to generate an output image.

  • The system uses gaze direction information to perform tone mapping or chromatic adaptation for VR environments.
  • It includes a processor and memory storing instructions.
  • The system determines the user's focus location within a physical environment.
  • It receives an image corresponding to the physical environment.
  • The system determines a visual property of the physical environment corresponding to the user's focus location.
  • It modifies the color mapping of a region of the image based on the determined visual property to generate an output image.

Potential Applications:

  • Virtual reality (VR) gaming and entertainment
  • Architectural visualization and design
  • Medical simulations and training
  • Virtual tourism and exploration
  • Industrial training and simulations

Problems Solved:

  • Enhances the visual experience in VR environments by adapting color mapping based on the user's focus location
  • Improves realism and immersion in virtual reality simulations
  • Helps users to better perceive and understand visual information in VR environments

Benefits:

  • Provides a more realistic and immersive visual experience in VR environments
  • Enhances the user's ability to perceive and understand visual information in VR simulations
  • Improves the overall quality and fidelity of virtual reality content
  • Enables more accurate and effective communication of visual information in VR applications
