USER CONTROLLED REAL OBJECT DISAPPEARANCE IN A MIXED REALITY DISPLAY
First Claim
1. One or more processor-readable storage devices having instructionsencoded thereon for causing one or more processors to execute a method for causing disappearance of a real object in a see-through display of a see-through, mixed reality display device system, the method comprising:
- receiving metadata identifying one or more real objects in a field of view of the see-through display;
determining whether any of the one or more real objects satisfies user disappearance criteria; and
responsive to determining a first real object satisfies the user disappearance criteria, tracking image data to the first real object in the see-through display for causing disappearance of the first real object in the field of view of the see-through display.

Abstract
The technology causes disappearance of a real object in a field of view of a see-through, mixed reality display device system based on user disappearance criteria. Image data is tracked to the real object in the field of view of the see-through display for implementing an alteration technique on the real object causing its disappearance from the display. A real object may satisfy user disappearance criteria by being associated with subject matter that the user does not wish to see or by not satisfying relevance criteria for a current subject matter of interest to the user. In some embodiments, based on a 3D model of a location of the display device system, an alteration technique may be selected for a real object based on a visibility level associated with the position within the location. Image data for alteration may be prefetched based on a location of the display device system.

11. A see-through, head mounted, mixed reality display device system
for causing disappearance of a real object in a field of view of a see-through display of the display device system comprising: -
one or more location detection sensors; a memory for storing user disappearance criteria including at least one subject matter item; one or more processors having access to the memory and communicatively coupled to the one or more location detection sensors for receiving location identifier data for the display device system and for identifying one or more real objects in the field of view of the see-through display which are related to the at least one subject matter item and within a predetermined visibility distance for a location determined from the location identifier data; and at least one image generation unit communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and optically coupled to the see-through display for tracking image data to the identified one or more real objects in the field of view of the see-through display for causing disappearance of the one or more real objects. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20)

17. A method for causing disappearance of a real object in a field of view of a see-through display of a see-through mixed reality display device system comprising:
-
receiving user input of a physical action identifying subject matter for disappearance including a real object for disappearance which is currently in the field of view of the see-through display; storing the subject matter for disappearance in user disappearance criteria; tracking image data to the real object for disappearance in accordance with an alteration technique; and responsive to identifying a user designated alteration technique to be applied to the real object for disappearance currently in the field of view, selecting the user designated alteration technique as the alteration technique. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
