Reality mixer for mixed reality
First Claim
1. A mixed-reality display device comprising:
- an input system configured to receive a parameter value, the parameter value being one of a plurality of values of a predetermined range receivable by the input system;
an electronic display configured to display virtual image content that adds an augmentation to a real-world environment viewed by a user of the mixed reality display device, the virtual image content being positioned persistently relative to the real-world environment, the display being configured to superpose the virtual image content on the real-world environment, so as to impart a variable unrealistic quality to the real-world environment; and
a graphics processor coupled operatively to the input system and to the electronic display, the graphics processor being configured to render the virtual image content so as to variably change the augmentation, to variably change a perceived realism of the real world environment in correlation to the parameter value.

Abstract
A mixed-reality display device comprises an input system, a display, and a graphics processor. The input system is configured to receive a parameter value, the parameter value being one of a plurality of values of a predetermined range receivable by the input system. The display is configured to display virtual image content that adds an augmentation to a real-world environment viewed by a user of the mixed-reality display device. The graphics processor is coupled operatively to the input system and to the display; it is configured to render the virtual image content so as to variably change the augmentation, to variably change a perceived realism of the real world environment in correlation to the parameter value.

16. A fully immersive, binocular, near-eye display device, comprising:
-
an input system configured to receive a parameter value, the parameter value being one of a plurality of values of a predetermined range receivable by the input system; an electronic microdisplay configured to position virtual image content persistently relative to a location of an object in a virtual environment, to form an image of the object sightable by a user of the near-eye display device, the virtual image content adding a superposed augmentation to the object; and a graphics processor coupled operatively to the input system and to the microdisplay, the graphics processor being configured to render the virtual image content so as to variably change the augmentation, to variably change a perceived realism of the object in correlation to the parameter value. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A near-eye display device comprising:
-
an input system configured to receive a parameter value, the parameter value being one of a plurality of values of a predetermined range receivable by the input system; an electronic microdisplay configured to display virtual image content to a predetermined location sightable by a user of the near-eye display device, the virtual image content being displayed at an observer-invariant location of a fixed or moving real-world object in a real-world environment of the user, wherein the display is configured to superpose the virtual image content on the object, so as to impart a variable unrealistic quality to the object; a loudspeaker configured to emit audio at the predetermined location; a graphics processor coupled operatively to the input system and to the microdisplay, the graphics processor being configured to render the virtual image content so as to variably change the augmentation in correlation to the parameter value; and audio-mixing componentry coupled operatively to the input system and to the loudspeaker, the audio-mixing componentry being configured to compose an audio overlay to impart the variable virtual quality in correlation to the parameter value. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
