RENDERING AN AVATAR FOR A USER IN AN AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEM
An augmented reality display system comprises a passable world model data comprises a set of map points corresponding to one or more objects of the real world. The augmented reality system also comprises a processor to communicate with one or more individual augmented reality display systems to pass a portion of the passable world model data to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems, wherein the piece of the passable world model data is passed based at least in part on respective locations corresponding to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems.
1 . An augmented reality system, comprising:
one or more sensors of a head-mounted augmented reality display system to capture a set of data pertaining to a user of the head-mounted augmented reality display system, wherein a pose of the one or more sensors is known relative to the user;
a processor to calculate a set of parameters regarding a movement of the user based at least in part on the captured set of data; and
animating an avatar based at least in part on the calculated set of parameters regarding the movement of the user, wherein the animated avatar is displayed as a virtual object when viewed through one or more augmented reality display systems.
2 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the avatar mimics the movement of the user.
3 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the processor performs a reverse kinematics analysis of the movement of the user to animate the avatar.
4 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors is a an image-based sensor.
5 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the set of data pertaining to the user is utilized to construct a map of the real world.
6 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the avatar is animated based on the movement of the user relative to a respective head-mounted augmented reality display system of the user.
7 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the pose comprises a position of the one or more sensors relative to the user.
8 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the pose comprises an orientation of the one or more sensors relative to the user.
9 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the captured data pertains to the user's hand movements.
10 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the captured data pertains to an interaction of the user with one or more totems of the head-mounted augmented reality display system.
11 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the user selects a form of the avatar.
12 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the avatar is created based at least in part on an image of the user.
13 . The augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the animated avatar is displayed to another user of another head-mounted augmented reality display system.
