Virtual reality system with posture control
View Patent ↗A method includes rendering a first field of view of a scene in accordance with a determination that the posture of the user corresponds to good posture and rendering a second field of view of a scene in accordance with a determination that the posture of the user corresponds to bad posture.
1 . A method, comprising:
obtaining a posture signal indicative of a posture of a user of a virtual reality display system; and
outputting a field of view of a virtual reality scene to the virtual reality display system, wherein the field of view is a motion tracked field of view when the posture signal corresponds to good posture and the field of view is a moved field of view when the posture signal corresponds to bad posture.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining a motion signal, wherein the motion tracked field of view is determined based on the motion signal.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the moved field of view differs from the motion tracked field of view.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the moved field of view ignores the motion signal.
5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the motion signal represents a location and attitude of the virtual reality display system.
6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the motion signal is obtained using one or more accelerometers.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the posture signal is determined using at least one of a video camera or a three-dimensional sensor.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the virtual reality display system is worn by the user on a head of the user.
9 . A system, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
obtain a posture signal indicative of a posture of a user of a virtual reality display system, and
output a field of view of a virtual reality scene to the virtual reality display system, wherein the field of view is a motion tracked field of view when the posture signal corresponds to good posture and the field of view is a moved field of view when the posture signal corresponds to bad posture.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
obtain a motion signal, wherein the motion tracked field of view is determined based on the motion signal.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the moved field of view differs from the motion tracked field of view.
12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the moved field of view ignores the motion signal.
13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the motion signal represents a location and attitude of the virtual reality display system.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the motion signal is obtained using one or more accelerometers, and the posture signal is determined using at least one of a video camera or a three-dimensional sensor.
15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage device including computer interpretable program instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining a posture signal indicative of a posture of a user of a virtual reality display system; and
outputting a field of view of a virtual reality scene to the virtual reality display system, wherein the field of view is a motion tracked field of view when the posture signal corresponds to good posture and the field of view is a moved field of view when the posture signal corresponds to bad posture.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:
obtaining a motion signal, wherein the motion tracked field of view is determined based on the motion signal.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the moved field of view differs from the motion tracked field of view.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the moved field of view ignores the motion signal.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the motion signal represents a location and attitude of the virtual reality display system.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the motion signal is obtained using one or more accelerometers, and the posture signal is determined using at least one of a video camera or a three-dimensional sensor.
