Abstract:

This disclosure describes an artificial reality system that presents artificial reality content in the context of a physical environment that includes a mirror or other reflective surface. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes capturing capture data representative of a physical environment, wherein the physical environment includes a reflective surface and a plurality of objects, determining a pose of the HMD, determining a map of the physical environment, wherein the map includes position information about the reflective surface and position information about each of the plurality of physical objects in the physical environment, identifying a visible object from among the plurality of physical objects, and generating artificial reality content associated with the visible object.

Abstract:

In general, the disclosure describes artificial reality systems and techniques for generating and presenting a virtual user interface with which users may interact using a physical peripheral device. In some examples, an artificial reality system includes an image capture device configured to capture image data; a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to output artificial reality content; a user interface engine configured to detect a peripheral device from the image data, wherein the user interface engine is configured to generate a virtual user interface comprising one or more virtual user interface elements; and a rendering engine configured to render the artificial reality content and to render, at a user interface position locked relative to a position of the peripheral device in an artificial reality environment, the virtual user interface for display at the HMD.

International Classification:

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the artificial reality system displays a virtual content to a first user. The virtual content has a first opacity. The system determines a first vergence distance of the first user and compare the first vergence distance of the first user to a first distance between the virtual content and the first user. The system adjusts the virtual content to have a second opacity that is less opaque than the first opacity in response to a determination that the first vergence distance of the first user is greater than the first distance by a first threshold distance.
