Abstract: A head mountable display, HMD, system to display images to a user via an HMD includes an illumination detector to detect an illumination level of an ambient environment around the HMD; an operation detector to detect one or more operations indicative of one or both of: (i) initiation of the HMD being put on by the user; and (ii) initiation of the HMD being taken off by the user; and a controller to control the illumination level of the display images, the controller being configured to generate and apply a temporary illumination level variation to the display images in response to a detection of the one or more operations by the operation detector.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes receiving circuitry to receive a plurality of images of an environment captured from respective different viewpoints, detection circuitry to detect a plurality of feature points in the plurality of captured images and to associate image information with each detected feature point indicative of an image property for a detected feature point, where each detected feature point represents a candidate landmark point for mapping the environment, selection circuitry to select one or more of the plurality of candidate landmark points, the one or more selected landmark points corresponding to a subset of the plurality of candidate landmark points, and mapping circuitry to generate, for the environment, a map including one or more of the selected landmark points, where each landmark point included in the map is defined by a three dimensional position and the associated image information for that landmark point.

Abstract: A system for determining the impulse response of an environment, the system comprising an audio emitting unit operable to emit a predetermined sound in the environment, an audio detection unit operable to record the sound output by the audio emitting unit, and an impulse response generation unit operable to identify an impulse response of the environment in dependence upon a frequency response of the audio emitting unit and/or the audio detection unit, and a difference between the predetermined sound and the recorded sound.

Abstract: A system includes one or more sensors to detect one or more properties for a current user wearing a head-mountable display (HMD), control circuitry to select a user profile from a plurality of stored user profiles in dependence upon one or more of the detected properties, where each stored user profile is associated with a respective user and includes data indicative of one or more reference properties for the respective user, where the selected user profile includes data indicative of at least one reference property that is substantially the same as at least one of the one or more of the detected properties, and processing circuitry to generate at least one of audio and video content for output by the HMD in dependence upon the selected user profile and in response to the selection of the user profile.

Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling displayed content based on user input. The method includes receiving one or more user inputs from a peripheral device operated by a user, the user inputs comprising one or more involuntary user inputs; modifying the user inputs to reduce a contribution of the involuntary user inputs; and adapting the displayed content in dependence on the modified user inputs.

Abstract: A method of improving accessibility for the user operation of a first application on a computer includes the steps of taking one or more measurements of a current user's interaction with an application on the computer, comparing the one or more measurements with expectations derived from measurements from a first corpus of users, characterising one or more needs of the current user based upon the comparison, and modifying at least a first property of the first application responsive to the characterised need or needs.
