STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE GENERATING DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240331589 titled 'STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE GENERATING DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
The method described in the patent application involves operating a stereoscopic image generating device that communicates with a rendering server device.
- Obtaining first tracking data by tracking the motion of a user during a reference time interval.
- Obtaining second tracking data by tracking the viewpoint of the user during the reference time interval.
- Providing the first tracking data to the rendering server device.
- Receiving one or more focus image data corresponding to the first tracking data from the rendering server device.
- Extracting one or more areas corresponding to the tracked viewpoint from each of the focus image data based on the second tracking data.
- Generating multifocal virtual reality (VR) image data by up-scaling the extracted areas.
- Visually providing the multifocal VR image data to the user through a display device of the stereoscopic image generating device.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Medical simulations - Architectural visualization - Training simulations - Entertainment experiences
Problems Solved: - Enhanced user experience in virtual reality environments - Improved realism in stereoscopic images - Better immersion for users in virtual reality applications
Benefits: - Increased user engagement - Enhanced visual quality - Improved user interaction in virtual reality environments
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Virtual Reality Experiences with Multifocal Image Generation" This technology could be utilized in various industries such as gaming, healthcare, architecture, education, and entertainment to provide users with more immersive and realistic virtual reality experiences.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method of tracking user motion and viewpoint enhance the virtual reality experience? - By tracking user motion and viewpoint, the system can adjust the focus of the virtual reality images, providing a more realistic and immersive experience for the user.
2. What are the potential limitations of using multifocal image generation in virtual reality applications? - Some potential limitations could include increased processing power requirements and potential challenges in accurately tracking user motion and viewpoint.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a method of operating a stereoscopic image generating device communicating with a rendering server device including obtaining first tracking data by tracking a motion of a user during a reference time interval, obtaining second tracking data by tracking a viewpoint of the user during the reference time interval, providing the first tracking data to the rendering server device, receiving one or more focus image data corresponding to the first tracking data from the rendering server device, extracting one or more areas corresponding to the tracked viewpoint from each of the one or more focus image data based on the second tracking data, generating multifocal virtual reality (vr) image data by up-scaling the extracted one or more areas, and visually providing, by a display device of the stereoscopic image generating device, the multifocal vr image data to the user.
