Virtual reality experience for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A virtual reality system for an autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the virtual reality system to;
interface with a vehicle control system to receive environmental data while the AV is being operated autonomously by the vehicle control system through an environment;
analyze the environmental data to anticipate a stimulus event, wherein the stimulus event represents probabilistic environmental stimuli on a rider in the AV;
generate virtual content using at least the environmental data and the stimulus event; and
render the virtual content for a virtual display system that presents the virtual content to the rider in the AV.

Abstract
A virtual reality system provides autonomous vehicle (AV) sensor data to applications such as games and augmented reality overlays to enhance experiences for riders in the autonomous vehicle. Virtual reality headsets offer users unique and interesting experiences, but when used in a changing environment such as a moving vehicle, external stimuli can impair the virtual reality experience. AV sensors can predict these stimuli so that applications can take measures to reduce their impacts on virtual reality experiences. In addition, sensors can include cameras that send live video feeds to virtual reality devices to render improved views of the environment around the AV and of landmarks in a city. Furthermore, virtual reality devices can take advantage of the AV'"'"'s computing resources in order to offer better performance and more features to applications.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing virtual reality instructions for an autonomous vehicle (AV), wherein the instructions when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
interface with a vehicle control system to receive environmental data while the AV is being operated autonomously by the vehicle control system through an environment; analyze the environmental data to anticipate a stimulus event, wherein the stimulus event represents probabilistic environmental stimuli on a rider in the AV; generate virtual content using at least the environmental data and the stimulus event; and render the virtual content for a virtual display system that presents the virtual content to the rider in the AV.
