METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADDING REAL-WORLD SOUNDS TO VIRTUAL REALITY SCENES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17827462 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADDING REAL-WORLD SOUNDS TO VIRTUAL REALITY SCENES
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes a method and system for integrating media cues into virtual reality scenes presented on a head mounted display (HMD). - The method involves presenting a virtual reality scene on the display of the HMD. - Sensor data from one or more sensors in the real-world space where the HMD is located is received. - The method then identifies the location of an object in the real-world space that produces a sound. - A media cue is generated in the virtual reality scene presented on the HMD. - The media cue is presented in a virtual location that corresponds to the location of the object in the real-world space.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are provided for integrating media cues into virtual reality scenes presented on a head mounted display (HMD) is disclosed. The method includes presenting a virtual reality scene on a display of an HMD. The method further includes receiving sensor data from one or more sensors in a real-world space in which the HMD is located. Then, identifying an object location of an object in the real-world space that produces a sound. The method includes generating a media cue in the virtual reality scene presented in the HMD. The media cue is presented in a virtual location that is correlated to the object location of the object in the real-world space.
