SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VIRTUAL REALITY CONTENT

摘要

There is provided a system for providing virtual reality content. The system includes a computing arrangement that is operable to execute image generating instructions to process the virtual reality content to generate image data, and a display arrangement that is operable to render the generated image data. The computing arrangement, when executing the image generating instructions, is operable to intercept drawing calls to one or more graphics libraries from application software that executes in operation in computing hardware of a user-wearable device of the system, or to intercept drawing calls from the one or more graphics libraries to a graphics driver of the display arrangement, wherein the user-wearable device includes the display arrangement; and to modulate camera and projection matrices of the drawing calls to create two images having a substantially hemi-spherical field of view for presentation to corresponding eyes of the user.

1. A system for providing virtual reality content, wherein the system includes a computing arrangement that is operable to execute image generating instructions to process the virtual reality content to generate image data, and a display arrangement that is operable to receive the generated image data and to provide one or more corresponding images that are viewed by a user in operation for receiving a virtual reality experience, characterized in that
the computing arrangement, when executing the image generating instructions, is operable: (i) to intercept one or more drawing calls to one or more graphics libraries from application software that executes in operation in computing hardware of a user-wearable device of the system, or to intercept one or more drawing calls from the one or more graphics libraries to a graphics driver of the display arrangement, wherein the user-wearable device includes the display arrangement; and (ii) to modulate camera and projection matrices of the one or more drawing calls to create two images having a substantially hemi-spherical field of view for presentation to corresponding eyes of the user.
