DRIVING A PROJECTOR TO GENERATE A SHARED SPATIAL AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE

摘要

Various technologies pertaining to shared spatial augmented reality (SSAR) are described. Sensor units in a room output sensor signals that are indicative of positions of two or more users in the room and gaze directions of the two or more users. Views of at least one virtual object are computed separately for each of the two or more users, and projectors project such views in the room. The projected views cause the two or more users to simultaneously perceive the virtual object in space.

主权项

1. A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; and memory that comprises a plurality of components that are executed by the at least one processor, the plurality of components comprising:
a tracker component that is configured to compute a first location of a first user and a second location of a second user in a room, the tracker component computes the first location and the second location based upon at least one signal generated by at least one sensor device; anda render component that is configured to:
compute a first view based upon the first location of the first user, the first view to be presented to the first user, the first view comprises a virtual object;compute a second view based upon the second location of the second user, the second view to be presented to the second user, the second view comprises the virtual object; andtransmit at least one frame to at least one projector that causes the at least one projector to project imagery onto projection surfaces in the room, the imagery includes at least one of:
at least a portion of the first view; orat least a portion of the second view, such that both the first user and the second user perceive the virtual object in space between the first user and the second user.
