OBJECT DETECTIONS FOR VIRTUAL REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054780 titled 'OBJECT DETECTIONS FOR VIRTUAL REALITY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a virtual reality (VR) system that includes a VR headset, multiple monitoring stations, and an image processing device. Each monitoring station has an image sensor to capture images of the VR headset and the surrounding environment. The image processing device processes these images to detect objects in the environment and transmits information to the VR headset about the detected objects.
- The VR system includes a headset, monitoring stations, and an image processing device.
- Monitoring stations have image sensors to capture images of the VR headset and the environment.
- The image processing device analyzes the captured images to detect objects in the environment.
- Information about the detected objects is transmitted to the VR headset.
Potential Applications:
- Gaming: The VR system can enhance gaming experiences by detecting and incorporating real-world objects into virtual environments.
- Training and Simulation: The system can be used for realistic training simulations by detecting and interacting with physical objects in a virtual setting.
- Safety and Security: The system can help identify potential hazards or intrusions in real-time by detecting objects in the environment.
Problems Solved:
- Object Detection: The system solves the problem of detecting objects in the environment by utilizing image sensors and image processing algorithms.
- Integration of Real and Virtual Worlds: By capturing images of the VR headset and the environment, the system bridges the gap between the real and virtual worlds, allowing for seamless interaction.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Immersion: The system enhances the immersion in virtual reality experiences by incorporating real-world objects into the virtual environment.
- Real-Time Object Detection: The system provides real-time detection of objects in the environment, allowing for immediate interaction and response.
- Improved Safety and Security: By detecting potential hazards or intrusions, the system improves safety and security in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
an example virtual reality (vr) system includes a vr headset, a plurality of monitoring stations, and an image processing device. each of the monitoring stations includes an image sensor to capture images of the vr headset and an environment in which the vr headset is used. the image processing device is to process the images captured by the monitoring stations to detect an object in the environment, and to transmit, to the vr headset, information that includes notification of the object detected.
