PRIVACY-SENSITIVE CONSUMER CAMERAS COUPLED TO AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEMS

摘要

An augmented reality display device comprises a housing for one or more components for the augmented reality display device, wherein the one or more components comprises a plurality of sensors to capture information pertaining to the user's surroundings, and wherein at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is an image-based sensor, a processing module communicatively coupled to the housing to process a set of data retrieved from the plurality of sensors, wherein the processing module comprises a gating mechanism that selectively allows data to be uploaded to the cloud, and a detachable camera removably attached to a housing of the augmented reality display device, such that when the detachable camera is attached to the housing of the augmented reality display device, the gating mechanism is opened such that data retrieved from the detachable camera is uploaded to the cloud.

1. An augmented reality display system, comprising:
a housing for one or more components for the augmented reality display system, wherein the one or more components comprises at least a spatial light modulator to project light associated with one or more virtual images to a user and a plurality of sensors to capture information pertaining to the user's surroundings, and wherein at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is an image-based sensor; a processing module communicatively coupled to the housing to process a set of data retrieved from the plurality of sensors, wherein the processing module comprises a gating mechanism that selectively allows the set of data retrieved from the plurality of sensors to be transmitted to a mobile platform; and a detachable camera removably attached to the housing of the augmented reality display system, wherein the gating mechanism selectively allows the set of data retrieved from the plurality of sensors to pass through to the mobile platform based at least in part on whether the detachable camera is detected to be attached to the housing of the augmented reality display system.
