    Abstract: A wearable display system including multiple cameras and a processor is disclosed. A greyscale camera and a color camera can be arranged to provide a central view field associated with both cameras and a peripheral view field associated with one of the two cameras. One or more of the two cameras may be a plenoptic camera. The wearable display system may acquire light field information using the at least one plenoptic camera and create a world model using the first light field information and first depth information stereoscopically determined from images acquired by the greyscale camera and the color camera. The wearable display system can track head pose using the at least one plenoptic camera and the world model. The wearable display system can track objects in the central view field and the peripheral view fields using the one or two plenoptic cameras, when the objects satisfy a depth criterion.

    Abstract: An image sensor suitable for use in an augmented reality system to provide low latency image analysis with low power consumption. The augmented reality system can be compact, and may be small enough to be packaged within a wearable device such as a set of goggles or mounted on a frame resembling ordinary eyeglasses. The image sensor may receive information about a region of an imaging array associated with a movable object and selectively output imaging information for that region. The region may be updated dynamically as the image sensor and/or the object moves. Such an image sensor provides a small amount of data from which object information used in rendering an augmented reality scene can be developed. The amount of data may be further reduced by configuring the image sensor to output indications of pixels for which the measured intensity of incident light changes.

    Abstract: A high-resolution image sensor suitable for use in an augmented reality (AR) system. The AR system may be small enough to be packaged within a wearable device such as a set of goggles or mounted on a frame resembling ordinary eyeglasses. The image sensor may have pixels configured to output events indicating changes in sensed IR light. Those pixels may be sensitive to IR light of the same frequency source as an active IR light source, and may be part of an eye tracking camera, oriented toward a user's eye. Changes in IR light may be used to determine the location of the user's pupil, which may be used in rendering virtual objects. The events may be generated and processed at a high rate, enabling the system to render the virtual object based on the user's gaze so that the virtual object will appear more realistic to the user.

    Abstract: A high-resolution image sensor suitable for use in an augmented reality (AR) system to provide low latency image analysis with low power consumption. The AR system can be compact, and may be small enough to be packaged within a wearable device such as a set of goggles or mounted on a frame resembling ordinary eyeglasses. The image sensor may receive information about a region of an imaging array associated with a movable object, selectively output imaging information for that region, and synchronously output high-resolution image frames. The region may be updated dynamically as the image sensor and/or the object moves. The image sensor may output the high-resolution image frames less frequently than the region being updated when the image sensor and/or the object moves. Such an image sensor provides a small amount of data from which object information used in rendering an AR scene can be developed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for synthesizing an image of the face by a head-mounted display (HMD), such as an augmented reality device, are disclosed. The HMD may be able to observe only a portion of the face with an inward-facing imaging system, e.g., the periocular region. The systems and methods described herein can generate a mapping of a conformation of the portion of the face that is not imaged based at least partly on a conformation of the portion of the face that is imaged. The HMD can receive an image of a portion of the face and use the mapping to determine a conformation of the portion of the face that is not observed. The HMD can combine the observed and unobserved portions to synthesize a full face image.
