RENDERING A HALO AROUND VIRTUAL OBJECTS FOR DISPLAYING AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY
Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise an image-generating source to provide one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner, a light modulator configured to transmit light associated with the one or more frames of image data, a substrate to direct image information to a user's eye, wherein the substrate houses a plurality of reflectors, a first reflector of the plurality of reflectors to reflect transmitted light associated with a first frame of image data at a first angle to the user's eye, and a second reflector to reflect transmitted light associated with a second frame of the image data at a second angle to the user's eye.
1 . A system for displaying virtual content, comprising:
an image generating source to provide one or more frames of image data, wherein the image data comprises one or more virtual objects to be presented to a user; and
a rendering engine to render the one or more virtual objects in a manner such that a halo is perceived by the user around the one or more virtual objects.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a light attenuator, wherein the light attenuator balances a light intensity of the halo across the visual field of the user.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rendering engine renders a halo visual effect such that the halo is perceived by the user.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the halo visual effect is rendered spatially proximate to the one or more virtual objects.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the rendered halo visual effect is brighter than the rendered one or more virtual objects.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more virtual objects is a darker than a threshold value of darkness.
7 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the halo visual effect is rendered based at least in part on light from an outside environment.
8 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the halo visual effect is rendered in a separate focal plane from the one or more virtual objects.
9 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the halo visual effect is rendered in a same focal plane as the one or more virtual objects.
10 . The system of claim 1 , implemented as a method.
