  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18337769 Titled 'Camera-based Transparent Display'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for presenting an image of a scene captured by a camera on an electronic device. The camera and display of the device have a specific spatial relationship. The method involves determining the spatial relationship between the viewpoint of the user and the display, warping the image to fit the display based on these relationships, and presenting the warped image on the display. This allows the image to appear as if it seamlessly continues beyond the edges of the device, creating a more immersive viewing experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Presenting an image of a scene may include capturing an image of a scene by a camera of an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the camera and a display, and wherein the camera and the display have a first spatial relationship, determining a second spatial relationship between a viewpoint and the display of the electronic device, warping the image to obtain an image of a first portion of the scene based on the first spatial relationship and the second spatial relationship, and presenting the warped image on the display, wherein, from the viewpoint, the image of the first portion of the scene is substantially contiguous with a second portion of the scene visible outside an edge of the electronic device.
