THREE-DIMENSIONAL MIXED-REALITY VIEWPORT

摘要

An application running on a computing platform that employs three-dimensional (3D) modeling is extended using a virtual viewport into which 3D holograms are rendered by a mixed-reality head mounted display (HMD) device. The HMD device user can position the viewport to be rendered next to a real world 2D monitor and use it as a natural extension of the 3D modeling application. For example, the user can interact with modeled objects in mixed-reality and move objects between the monitor and the viewport. The 3D modeling application and HMD device are configured to exchange scene data for modeled objects (such as geometry, lighting, rotation, scale) and user interface parameters (such as mouse and keyboard inputs). The HMD device implements head tracking to determine where the user is looking so that user inputs are appropriately directed to the monitor or viewport.

1. A head mounted display (HMD) device operable by a user in a physical environment, comprising:
one or more processors; a sensor package; a display configured for rendering a mixed reality environment to the user, a view position of the user for the rendered mixed-reality environment being variable depending at least in part on a pose of the user's head in the physical environment; and one or more memory devices storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a method comprising the steps of:
implementing a three-dimensional (3D) virtual viewport on the display,supporting extensibility to a 3D modeling application executing on a remote computing platform, the application supporting a 3D model, andrendering the 3D model as a hologram in the viewport.
