SHARED DATA AND COLLABORATION FOR HEAD-MOUNTED DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214448 titled 'SHARED DATA AND COLLABORATION FOR HEAD-MOUNTED DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a system that uses multiple head-mounted devices to process views from their respective cameras and identify objects from different perspectives. - The system allows for sharing sensory input between the head-mounted devices, which enhances their individual capabilities by interpreting and reconstructing objects, surfaces, and the external environment from multiple angles and positions. - This collaboration reduces occlusions and inaccuracies in the interpretation of the environment. - By combining the sensory input from multiple devices, the system improves the speed and accuracy of object recognition, hand and body tracking, surface mapping, and digital reconstruction. - The collaboration between the head-mounted devices enables more effective and efficient mapping of space, surfaces, objects, gestures, and users.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system can include head-mounted devices that collaborate to process views from cameras of the respective head-mounted devices and identify objects from different perspectives and/or objects that are within the view of only one of the head-mounted devices. Sharing sensory input between multiple head-mounted devices can complement and enhance individual units by interpreting and reconstructing objects, surfaces, and/or an external environment with perceptive data from multiple angles and positions, which also reduces occlusions and inaccuracies. As more detailed information is available at a specific moment in time, the speed and accuracy of object recognition, hand and body tracking, surface mapping, and/or digital reconstruction can be improved. Such collaboration can provide more effective and efficient mapping of space, surfaces, objects, gestures and users.
