Sensory feedback ('chaperoning') systems and methods for guiding users in virtual/augmented reality environments such as walk-around virtual reality environments are described. Exemplary implementations assist with preventing collisions with objects in the physical operating space in which the user acts, among other potential functions and/or uses.

Sensory feedback systems and methods for guiding users in virtual reality environments

Systems and methods for implementing radial density masking graphics rendering for use in applications such as head mounted displays ('HMDs') are described. Exemplary algorithms are disclosed, according to which image resolution varies within an image depending on the distance of a particular point on the image from one or more fixation points. Reconstruction algorithms according to certain embodiments include three stages: (1) hole filling; (2) cross-cell blending; and (3) Gaussian blur.
