Displaying virtual content in augmented reality using a map of the world

United States US20230274511A1, Filed April 3, 2023

An augmented reality display system comprises a passable world model data comprises a set of map points corresponding to one or more objects of the real world. The augmented reality system also comprises a processor to communicate with one or more individual augmented reality display systems to pass a portion of the passable world model data to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems, wherein the piece of the passable world model data is passed based at least in part on respective locations corresponding to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems.

Display systems and methods for clipping content to increase viewing comfort

United States US10878620B2, Granted Dec 29, 2020

Japan JP2023134638A, Filed July 13 2023

Augmented and virtual reality display systems increase viewer comfort by reducing viewer exposure to virtual content that causes undesirable accommodation-vergence mismatches (AVM). The display systems limit displaying content that exceeds an accommodation-vergence mismatch threshold, which may define a volume around the viewer. The volume may be subdivided into two or more zones, including an innermost loss-of-fusion zone (LoF) in which no content is displayed, and one or more outer AVM zones in which the displaying of content may be stopped, or clipped, under certain conditions. For example, content may be clipped if the viewer is verging within an AVM zone and if the content is displayed within the AVM zone for more than a threshold duration. A further possible condition for clipping content is that the user is verging on that content. In addition, the boundaries of the AVM zone and/or the acceptable amount of time that the content is displayed may vary depending upon the type of content being displayed, e.g., whether the content is user-locked content or in-world content.
