AUGMENTATION OF VOLUMETRIC VIDEO WITH NON-VISUAL INFORMATION IN A VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240282057 titled 'AUGMENTATION OF VOLUMETRIC VIDEO WITH NON-VISUAL INFORMATION IN A VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT

The abstract describes a patent application for a virtual reality system that integrates volumetric video capturing visual information of a physical environment with non-visual information to enhance navigation within the virtual reality environment.

  • The computational device of the virtual reality system receives volumetric video capturing visual information.
  • The computational device also receives non-visual information of the physical environment.
  • The volumetric video is combined with the non-visual information to create a volumetric video augmented with non-visual information.
  • Navigation within the virtual reality system is improved through this integration.

Potential Applications: - Enhanced virtual reality experiences for users - Improved training simulations for various industries - Enhanced gaming experiences with more realistic environments

Problems Solved: - Integrating visual and non-visual information for a more immersive virtual reality experience - Enhancing navigation within virtual reality environments

Benefits: - More realistic and immersive virtual reality experiences - Improved training simulations for various industries - Enhanced user engagement in virtual reality applications

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Virtual Reality Navigation System" This technology can be used in industries such as gaming, training simulations, real estate, and entertainment to provide more immersive and engaging virtual reality experiences for users.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the integration of volumetric video with non-visual information improve navigation in virtual reality environments? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of processing power and data storage capacity?


Original Abstract Submitted

a computational device of a virtual reality system receives a volumetric video that captures visual information of a physical environment. the computational device of the virtual reality system receives non-visual information of the physical environment. the volumetric video is integrated with the non-visual information to generate a volumetric video augmented with non-visual information in which navigation is performed in the virtual reality system.
