IMAGE DISPLAY WITHIN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238750 titled 'IMAGE DISPLAY WITHIN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a view of a three-dimensional (3D) environment that includes a projection of a 3D image, such as a multi-directional stereo image or video content.

  • Obtaining a 3D image consisting of a stereoscopic image pair with left eye content and right eye content.
  • Generating a projection of the 3D image within a 3D environment by projecting portions of the image to form a shape based on the angle of view.
  • The 3D environment includes additional content separate from the 3D image.
  • Providing a view of the 3D environment including the projection of the 3D image.

Potential Applications

  • Virtual reality (VR) gaming and entertainment experiences.
  • Immersive training simulations for various industries.
  • Architectural and interior design visualization.
  • Medical imaging and surgical planning.
  • Augmented reality (AR) applications for enhanced user experiences.

Problems Solved

  • Provides a more realistic and immersive view of 3D content within a 3D environment.
  • Allows for multi-directional viewing of stereoscopic images or videos.
  • Integrates additional content within the 3D environment for enhanced user experiences.

Benefits

  • Enhanced user immersion and engagement in virtual environments.
  • Improved visualization and understanding of complex 3D data.
  • Increased flexibility in viewing and interacting with 3D content.
  • Potential for more realistic and effective training simulations.
  • Expanded possibilities for creative expression and storytelling in VR and AR.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provides a view of a three-dimensional (3D) environment that includes a projection of a 3D image, such as a multi-directional stereo image or video content. For example, an example process may include obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) image including a stereoscopic image pair including left eye content corresponding to a left eye viewpoint and right eye content corresponding to a right eye viewpoint, generating a projection of the 3D image within a 3D environment by projecting portions of the 3D image to form a shape within the 3D environment, the shape based on an angle of view of the 3D image, where the 3D environment includes additional content separate from the 3D image, and providing a view of the 3D environment including the projection of the 3D image.
