1. A system for presenting a mixed reality environment including real and virtual objects, the system comprising:
- a head mounted display device including a display unit for displaying a three-dimensional virtual object in the virtual environment and a first set of one or more cameras;
one or more camera assemblies, remote from the head mounted display device, for capturing video of real objects in the mixed reality environment; and
a processing unit operatively coupled to the display device and the one or more camera assemblies, the processing unit generating a scene map comprising a three-dimensional coordinate space in which the head mounted display, the three-dimensional virtual object and the one or more camera assemblies are registered, the processing unit and a camera assembly of the one or more camera assemblies generating an image of the mixed reality environment including video of real objects and the virtual object for display from a perspective of the camera assembly.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for capturing views of a mixed reality environment from various perspectives which can be displayed on a monitor. The system includes one or more physical cameras at user-defined positions within the mixed reality environment. The system renders virtual objects in the mixed reality environment from the perspective of the one or more cameras. Real and virtual objects from the mixed reality environment may then be displayed from the perspective of the one or more cameras on one or more external, 2D monitor for viewing by others.

10. A system for presenting a mixed reality environment including real and virtual objects, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of image capture devices for capturing images of real world objects in the mixed reality environment from different perspectives; and a processing unit operatively coupled to the plurality of image capture devices, the processing unit identifying poses of the plurality of image capture devices with respect to each other, the processing unit further generating a virtual object in the mixed reality environment and identifying a position of the virtual object with respect to the plurality of image capture devices, the processing unit and an image capture device of the plurality of image capture devices generating an image of the mixed reality environment for display on a two-dimensional monitor from a perspective of the image capture device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of presenting a mixed reality environment including real and virtual objects, the method comprising:
-
(a) capturing a first image of the mixed reality environment from a first perspective via a first camera incorporated into a head mounted display device; (b) capturing a second image of the mixed reality environment from a second perspective via a second camera incorporated into a camera assembly; (c) generating a virtual object at a position in the mixed reality environment; (d) displaying the virtual object onto optics on the head mounted display device, the virtual object being displayed from a perspective of the head mounted display device; and (e) displaying the second image from the camera assembly together with the virtual object onto a two-dimensional display device, the virtual object being displayed from a perspective of the camera assembly. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
