System and method for integrating multiple virtual rendering systems to provide an augmented reality

1. A method of displaying a composite render, the method comprising:

obtaining a first virtual environment data, including one or more first virtual objects, from a first virtual rendering system using a first camera view;

obtaining a second virtual environment data, including one or more second virtual objects, from a second virtual rendering system using a second camera view;

creating the composite render by combining the one or more first virtual objects and the one or more second virtual objects to provide a virtual scene, wherein the creating applies a display priority algorithm when a first position of the one or more of the first virtual objects is similar to a second position of the one or more of the second virtual objects;

outputting the composite render to a display;

updating, after the outputting, the first virtual environment data from the first virtual rendering system at a first update rate;

updating the second virtual environment data from the second virtual rendering system at a second update rate;

re-creating the composite render using the updated first virtual environment data and the updated second virtual environment data; and

outputting the re-created composite render to the display.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first camera view is the same as the second camera view.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first camera view is different from the second camera view.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising applying a masking algorithm to hide the one or more first virtual objects.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first virtual rendering system and the second virtual rendering system use a shared input for determining a first movement of the one or more first virtual objects from the first virtual environment data and a second movement of the one or more second virtual objects from the updated second virtual environment data.

6. A rendering device for displaying a composite render, rendering device comprising:

a processor configured to:

obtain a first virtual environment data, including one or more first virtual objects, from a first virtual rendering system using a first camera view;

obtain a second virtual environment data, including one or more second virtual objects, from a second virtual rendering system using a second camera view;

create the composite render by combining the one or more first virtual objects and the one or more second virtual objects to provide a virtual scene, wherein the creating applies a display priority algorithm when a first position of the one or more of the first virtual objects is similar to a second position of the one or more of the second virtual objects;

output the composite render to a display;

update, after the outputting, the first virtual environment data from the first virtual rendering system at a first update rate;

update the second virtual environment data from the second virtual rendering system at a second update rate;

re-create the composite render using the updated first virtual environment data and the updated second virtual environment data; and

output the re-created composite render to the display.

7. The rendering device of claim 6 , wherein the first camera view is the same as the second camera view.

8. The rendering device of claim 6 , wherein the first camera view is different from the second camera view.

9. The rendering device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to apply a masking algorithm to hide the one or more first virtual objects.

10. The rendering device of claim 6 , wherein the first virtual rendering system and the second virtual rendering system use a shared input for determining a first movement of the one or more first virtual objects from the first virtual environment data and a second movement of the one or more second virtual objects from the updated second virtual environment data.

11. A computer software program stored in a computer readable memory for displaying a composite render, wherein when the computer software program is executed by a processor, the computer software program performs a method comprising:

obtaining a first virtual environment data, including one or more first virtual objects, from a first virtual rendering system using a first camera view;

obtaining a second virtual environment data, including one or more second virtual objects, from a second virtual rendering system using a second camera view;

creating the composite render by combining the one or more first virtual objects and the one or more second virtual objects to provide a virtual scene, wherein the creating applies a display priority algorithm when a first position of the one or more of the first virtual objects is similar to a second position of the one or more of the second virtual objects; and

outputting the composite render to a display;

updating, after the outputting, the first virtual environment data from the first virtual rendering system at a first update rate:

updating the second virtual environment data from the second virtual rendering system at a second update rate;

re-creating the composite render using the updated first virtual environment data and the updated second virtual environment data; and

outputting the re-created composite render to the display.

12. The computer software program of claim 11 , wherein the first camera view is the same as the second camera view.

13. The computer software program of claim 11 , wherein the first camera view is different from the second camera view.

14. The computer software program of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprising applying a masking algorithm to hide the one or more first virtual objects.

15. The computer software program of claim 11 , wherein the first virtual rendering system and the second virtual rendering system use a shared input for determining a first movement of the one or more first virtual objects from the first virtual environment data and a second movement of the one or more second virtual objects from the updated second virtual environment data.
