Wearable display system for cross reality with dynamic vision sensor
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013979B2) discloses a wearable display system that includes a headset with two cameras providing overlapping views of a central field. The system's processor creates a world model using depth information from the cameras, tracks head pose, and adjusts camera settings based on quality criteria. The intensity change criterion determines image acquisition, with the system capable of restricting data acquisition to specific points of interest within the world model. Additionally, an inertial measurement unit aids in estimating the position of points of interest, and an IR emitter enables tracking in low light conditions.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for tracking head pose using the wearable display system, emphasizing the system's ability to restrict image data acquisition to points of interest within the world model. The tracking routine involves calculating the position of points of interest at a high temporal resolution, ensuring accurate and real-time tracking. The system's first camera can output image data asynchronously, allowing for asynchronous head pose tracking. Overall, the wearable display system offers advanced features for precise head pose tracking and efficient image data acquisition, making it a promising technology for various applications requiring wearable displays and immersive experiences.
