FILTER FOR GENERATION OF BLURRED REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT TEXTURES
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a diffusion filter that diffuses light from an environment to generate diffused light, wherein an amount of diffusion provided by the diffusion filter corresponds to a surface characteristic of a surface of an object to be rendered on a display; and
an image sensor that captures the diffused light as an environment texture for rendering as a reflection of the environment on the surface of the object.

Abstract
Filter for generation of blurred real-time environment textures. An apparatus includes a diffusion filter that generates diffused light. An amount of diffusion corresponds to a surface characteristic of a surface of an object to be rendered on a display. The apparatus also includes an image sensor that captures the diffused light as an environment texture for rendering as a reflection of the environment on the surface of the object. An apparatus includes a lens that passes light, and an image sensor that captures the light as an environment texture to be rendered on a surface of an object as a reflection of the environment. The apparatus also includes a controller that selectively adjusts a distance between the lens and the image sensor to defocus the light at the image sensor. The amount of defocus corresponds to the surface characteristic of the surface of the object.

15. A method, comprising:
-
determining a surface type of a surface of a display object to be rendered on a display; determining a distance associated with the surface type; adjusting at least one of a lens and an image sensor so that they are separated by the distance associated with the surface type; and capturing an environment texture from light rays that pass through the lens and strike the image sensor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
