ADAPTIVE SUPER-SAMPLING BASED ON GAZE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054604 titled 'ADAPTIVE SUPER-SAMPLING BASED ON GAZE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining a user's gaze direction while wearing a head-mounted device with a display, and generating an image based on the user's gaze direction.

  • Method involves determining gaze direction of user wearing head-mounted device
  • Display outputs image with multiple pixels
  • Sets of sampling locations for each pixel determined based on user's gaze direction
  • Color values for pixels computed by sampling scene at sampling locations
  • Image generated using color values and displayed on head-mounted device
    • Potential Applications:**

- Virtual reality systems - Augmented reality applications - Eye-tracking technology

    • Problems Solved:**

- Improving user experience in virtual and augmented reality by accurately tracking gaze direction - Enhancing realism and immersion in virtual environments

    • Benefits:**

- More realistic and immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences - Improved user interaction and control in virtual environments - Enhanced user comfort and reduced eye strain in head-mounted displays


Original Abstract Submitted

in one embodiment, a method includes determining a gaze direction of a user wearing a head-mounted device, the head-mounted device having a display configured to output an image having multiple of pixels. the method may further include determining, for each of the multiple pixels, a set of sampling locations based on the gaze direction of the user, the sets of sampling locations of the multiple pixels being a portion of a sampling pattern defined based on the gaze direction of the user. in one embodiment, the method may also include computing, for each of the multiple pixels, a color value for the pixel by sampling a scene according to the set of sampling locations associated with the pixel, generating the image using the color values of the multiple pixels, and outputting the image using the display of the head-mounted device.
