MIXED REALITY AUGMENTATION
First Claim
1. A mixed reality augmentation system for providing motion amplification to a virtual environment in a mixed reality environment, the mixed reality augmentation system comprising:
- a head-mounted display device operatively connected to a computing device, the head-mounted display device including a display system for presenting the mixed reality environment; and
a mixed reality augmentation program executed by a processor of the computing device, the mixed reality augmentation program configured to;
receive from the head-mounted display device motion data that corresponds to motion of a user in a physical environment;
present via the display system the virtual environment in motion in a principal direction, the principal direction motion being amplified by a first multiplier as compared to the motion of the user in a corresponding principal direction, andpresent via the display system the virtual environment in motion in a secondary direction, the secondary direction motion being amplified by a second multiplier as compared to the motion of the user in a corresponding secondary direction, wherein the second multiplier is less than the first multiplier.

Abstract
Embodiments that relate to providing motion amplification to a virtual environment are disclosed. For example, in one disclosed embodiment a mixed reality augmentation program receives from a head-mounted display device motion data that corresponds to motion of a user in a physical environment. The program presents via the display device the virtual environment in motion in a principal direction, with the principal direction motion being amplified by a first multiplier as compared to the motion of the user in a corresponding principal direction. The program also presents the virtual environment in motion in a secondary direction, where the secondary direction motion is amplified by a second multiplier as compared to the motion of the user in a corresponding secondary direction, and the second multiplier is less than the first multiplier.
