SOLUTION OF BODY-GARMENT COLLISIONS IN AVATARS FOR IMMERSIVE REALITY APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148326 titled 'SOLUTION OF BODY-GARMENT COLLISIONS IN AVATARS FOR IMMERSIVE REALITY APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes a method for solving collisions between a virtual avatar's body and clothing in immersive reality applications.
- The method involves creating a 2D image of a dressed avatar in a headset-based immersive reality application.
- It identifies areas where the avatar's clothing intersects with its body.
- By replacing pixels in these collision areas with clothing pixels, a new 2D image of the avatar is generated.
Key Features and Innovation
- Resolving collisions between a virtual avatar's body and clothing in immersive reality applications.
- Utilizing a 2D projection of the avatar to identify collision areas.
- Replacing pixels in collision areas with clothing pixels to create a seamless visual representation.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in virtual reality gaming, virtual fashion try-on experiences, and virtual meetings where avatars are used.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of visual glitches and unrealistic appearances caused by collisions between an avatar's body and clothing in immersive reality applications.
Benefits
- Improved visual realism in immersive reality applications.
- Enhanced user experience with more accurate representation of avatars.
- Increased immersion and engagement in virtual environments.
Commercial Applications
- Virtual reality gaming industry for more realistic character customization.
- Virtual fashion industry for virtual try-on experiences.
- Virtual meetings and events for lifelike avatar representations.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for resolving body-garment collisions in avatars for immersive reality applications is provided. The method includes forming a two-dimensional projection of a dressed avatar in an immersive reality application running in a headset, identifying, from the two-dimensional projection, an area that includes a garment collision, and replacing a pixel in the area that includes the garment collision, with a pixel indicative of a garment for the dressed avatar, to form a new two-dimensional projection of the dressed avatar. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method, are also provided.
