AVATAR RENDERING FOR AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY
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 . A method of displaying augmented reality, comprising:
capturing a set of data pertaining to a movement of a user of a head-mounted augmented reality display system;
determining a pose of one or more sensors of the head-mounted augmented reality display system relative to the user;
calculating, based at least in part on the determined pose and the captured set of data, a set of parameters pertaining to the user's movement; and
animating an avatar based at least in part on the calculated set of parameters, wherein the animated avatar is displayed as a virtual object to one or more users of a plurality of augmented reality display systems.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a reverse kinematic analysis of the movement of the user to animate the avatar.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising adding the captured set of data to a passable world model, wherein the passable world model comprises a map of the real world.
4 . The method 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.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the pose comprises a position of the one or more sensors relative to the user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the pose comprises an orientation of the one or more sensors relative to the user.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the captured data pertains to the user's hand movements.
8 . The method 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.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the animated avatar is displayed to another user of another head-mounted augmented reality display system.
10 . The method of claims 1 - 9 implemented as a system having means for implementing the method steps.
