Abstract:
A head mounted display (HMD) device may include a housing coupled to a frame, and a display disposed in the housing. A first lens and a first active shutter may be disposed along a first optical axis in the housing, and a second lens and a second active shutter may be disposed along a second optical axis in the housing. A controller may alternately switch the display, the first active shutter and the second active shutter between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode the first active shutter may be activated and the second active shutter may be deactivated. In the second mode the first active shutter may be deactivated and the second active shutter may be activated.
Abstract:
In one general aspect, a system for providing a virtual reality (VR) space can include a mobile computing device, and a VR headset operatively coupled to the mobile computing device and including a screen. The mobile computing device can be configured to execute a VR application, and provide content for display on the screen of the VR headset in the VR space.
Abstract:
In one general aspect, a method can include receiving, by a first computing device from a virtual reality (VR) headset, data indicative of a position of a second computing device, rendering, by the first computing device, an aspect of the second computing device for inclusion in a VR space based on the position of the second computing device, and integrating the rendered aspect of the second computing device with content for display as integrated content in the VR space. The method can further include providing the integrated content to the VR headset for display on a screen included in the VR headset, receiving data indicative of an interaction of a user with the second computing device, and based on the received data indicative of the interaction of the user with the second computing device, altering the content for display as integrated content in the VR space.
Abstract:
In a system for pairing a first device and a second device in a virtual reality environment, the first device may be a sending device, and the second device may be a receiving device. The sending device may transmit an electromagnetic signal that is received by the receiving device. The receiving device may process the electromagnetic signal to verify physical proximity of the receiving device and the transmitting device, and extract identification information related to the sending device for pairing. The receiving device may display one or more virtual pairing indicators to be manipulated to verify the user's intention to pair the first and second devices.
