    Abstract: Presenting an image of a scene may include capturing an image of a scene by a camera of an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the camera and a display, and wherein the camera and the display have a first spatial relationship, determining a second spatial relationship between a viewpoint and the display of the electronic device, warping the image to obtain an image of a first portion of the scene based on the first spatial relationship and the second spatial relationship, and presenting the warped image on the display, wherein, from the viewpoint, the image of the first portion of the scene is substantially contiguous with a second portion of the scene visible outside an edge of the electronic device.

    Abstract: A mixed reality system that includes a head-mounted display (HMD) that provides 3D virtual views of a user's environment augmented with virtual content. The HMD may include sensors that collect information about the user's environment (e.g., video, depth information, lighting information, etc.), and sensors that collect information about the user (e.g., the user's expressions, eye movement, hand gestures, etc.). The sensors provide the information as inputs to a controller that renders frames including virtual content based at least in part on the inputs from the sensors. The HMD may display the frames generated by the controller to provide a 3D virtual view including the virtual content and a view of the user's environment for viewing by the user.

    Abstract: This disclosure pertains to operations, systems, and computer readable media to capture images of a scene using a camera array and process the captured images based on a viewer's point of view (POV) for immersive augmented reality, live display wall, head mounted display, video conferencing, and similar applications. In one implementation, the disclosed subject matter provides a complete view to a viewer by combining images captured by a camera array. In another implementation, the disclosed subject matter tracks the viewer's POV as he moves from one location to another and displays images in accordance with his varying POV. The change of the viewer's POV is inclusive of movements in the X, Y, and Z dimensions.

    CPC classification number: G06V10/26 G06V10/764 G06V10/82 G06F3/167

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of detecting an occlusion of an image sensor is performed at a device including one or more image sensors, one or more speakers, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes receiving, from the one or more image sensors, an image of a physical environment. The method includes detecting, based on the image of the physical environment, an occlusion at least partially occluding the one or more image sensors. The method includes classifying the occlusion as one of a plurality of occlusion types. The method includes playing, via the one or more speakers, an occlusion notification based on the classification.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of playing an audio notification is performed at a device including one or more image sensors, one or more speakers, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes receiving, from the one or more image sensors, an image of a physical environment having a device field-of-view different than a user field-of-view. The method includes detecting, in the image of the physical environment, an object at a location in the physical environment. The method includes determining that the location in the physical environment is outside an area of the user field-of-view. The method includes, in response to determining that the location in the physical environment is outside the area of the user field-of-view, playing, via the speaker, an audio notification of the detection.
