AUGMENTED REALITY WITH REALISTIC OCCLUSION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of augmenting reality, the method comprising:
- receiving first observation information of a first physical space from a first head-mounted display device, the first head-mounted display device including a first see-through display configured to visually augment an appearance of the first physical space to a user viewing the first physical space through the first see-through display;
receiving second observation information of a second physical space from a second head-mounted display device, the second head-mounted display device including a second see-through display configured to visually augment an appearance of the second physical space to a user viewing the second physical space through the second see-through display;
mapping a shared virtual reality environment to the first physical space and the second physical space based on the first observation information and the second observation information, the shared virtual reality environment including a virtual object;
sending first augmented reality display information to the first head mounted display, the first augmented reality display information configured to display the virtual object via the first see-through display with occlusion relative to a real world object from a perspective of the first see-through display.

Abstract
A head-mounted display device is configured to visually augment an observed physical space to a user. The head-mounted display device includes a see-through display and is configured to receive augmented display information, such as a virtual object with occlusion relative to a real world object from a perspective of the see-through display.

20. A method of augmenting reality, the method comprising:
-
receiving first observation information of a first physical space from a first head-mounted display device, the first head-mounted display device including a first see-through display configured to visually augment an appearance of the first physical space to a user viewing the first physical space through the first see-through display; receiving second observation information of a second physical space from a second head-mounted display device, the second head-mounted display device including a second see-through display configured to visually augment an appearance of the second physical space to a user viewing the second physical space through the second see-through display; mapping a shared virtual reality environment to the first physical space and the second physical space based on the first observation information and the second observation information, the shared virtual reality environment including a virtual object, a mapped position of a first real world object in the first physical space being between the virtual object and the first see-through display from a perspective of the first see-through display and being behind the virtual object from a perspective of the second see-through display, a mapped position of a second real world object in the second physical space being between the virtual object and the second see-through display from a perspective of the second see-through display and being behind the virtual object from a perspective of the first see-through display; sending first augmented reality display information to the first head mounted display, the first augmented reality display information configured to display only those portions of the virtual object that are not behind the first real world object from the perspective of the first see-through display and to display the virtual object blocking the second real world object; and sending second augmented reality display information to the second head mounted display, the second augmented reality display information configured to display only those portions of the virtual object that are not behind the second real world object from the perspective of the second see-through display and to display the virtual object blocking the first real world object.
