MIXED REALITY SYSTEM FOR CONTEXT-AWARE VIRTUAL OBJECT RENDERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256028 titled 'MIXED REALITY SYSTEM FOR CONTEXT-AWARE VIRTUAL OBJECT RENDERING

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method using mixed reality gear to render virtual objects in a real scene based on data describing the context of the scene.

  • The method involves imaging a real scene with a user wearing mixed reality gear and determining data describing the real context.
  • A set of content is selected from a library based on the real context data to render virtual objects in the mixed reality session.
  • The virtual objects are rendered by the mixed reality output apparatus, potentially using context parameters to enhance the experience.
  • The apparatus is configured to perform the method using hardware, firmware, and/or software.

Potential Applications: - Augmented reality gaming - Virtual tours and experiences - Training simulations - Interactive storytelling - Industrial design and prototyping

Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience in mixed reality environments - Seamlessly integrating virtual objects into real scenes - Providing contextually relevant content in mixed reality sessions

Benefits: - Immersive and interactive experiences - Enhanced learning and training opportunities - Improved visualization of complex concepts - Increased engagement and entertainment value

Commercial Applications: Mixed reality advertising campaigns Virtual shopping experiences Interactive museum exhibits Real estate virtual tours Medical training simulations

Questions about Mixed Reality Innovation: 1. How does the method determine the real context of the scene? 2. What are the different algorithms used to select content for rendering virtual objects?


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method in conjunction with mixed reality gear (e.g., a headset) includes imaging a real scene encompassing a user wearing a mixed reality output apparatus. the method includes determining data describing a real context of the real scene, based on the imaging; for example, identifying or classifying objects, lighting, sound or persons in the scene. the method includes selecting a set of content including content enabling rendering of at least one virtual object from a content library, based on the data describing a real context, using various selection algorithms. the method includes rendering the virtual object in the mixed reality session by the mixed reality output apparatus, optionally based on the data describing a real context (“context parameters”). an apparatus is configured to perform the method using hardware, firmware, and/or software.
