A system configured to improve the operations associated with generating virtual representations on limited resources of a mobile device. In some cases, the system may utilize viewpoint bundles that include collection of image data with an associated pose in relative physical proximity to each other to render a virtual scene. In other cases, the system may utilize 2.5D manifolds including 2D image data and a weighted depth value to render the 3D environment.

System and method for dense, large scale scene reconstruction

A three-dimensional (3D) sensing apparatus together with a projector subassembly is provided. The 3D sensing apparatus includes two cameras, which may be configured to capture ultraviolet and/or near-infrared light. The 3D sensing apparatus may also contain an optical filter and one or more computing processors that signal a simultaneous capture using the two cameras and processing the captured images into depth. The projector subassembly of the 3D sensing apparatus includes a laser diode, one or optical elements, and a photodiode that are useable to enable 3D capture.

Apparatus and methods for three-dimensional sensing

A system configured to determine a six-degree of freedom pose of a physical object in a physical environment and to utilize the six-degree of freedom pose as an within a virtual environment or mixed reality environment. In some cases, the system may utilize one or more cameras on a headset device to track the pose of a controller or other objects and one or more cameras on the controller itself to track the pose of the headset device or the user. In one example, the system may capture image data of a physical object having a constellation or pattern on the external source. The system may analyze the image data to identify image points associated with the constellation or pattern and to determine the pose of the object based on a location of the points in the image.

Mixed reality controller and headset tracking system

A system configured to determine a pose of a physical object in a physical environment and to utilize the pose as an input to control or manipulate a virtual environment or mixed reality environment. In some cases, the system may be capture image data of a physical object having a constellation or pattern on the external source. The system may analyze the image data to identify points associated with the constellation or pattern and to determine the pose based on the identified points and a stored object model associated with the physical object.

System for determining a pose of an object

A virtual environment or mixed reality environment system including a physical tracking enhancement tag that may be identified by the system to assist with localization of the system with respect to the physical environment. The tracking enhancement tags may be encoded or coded in a high frequency and low frequency that is readable by the system to provide different types of information related the environment. For example, the encoded information may include a unique identifier of the tag and a relative direction with regards to the physical environment.

Pose tracking system with physical tracking enhancement tags

A virtual environment or mixed reality environment system including a headset device and controller. Both the headset device and the controller are configured to access and update a shared scene map. In some cases, the headset device may implement pose tracking with respect to the headset device and the controller and the controller may also implement pose tracking with respect to the headset device and the controller.
