The apparatus including an optical arrangement including at least one light guide wherein the at least one light guide is configured to propagate a beam of light from an image source towards a user's eye to direct the beam of light to a location proximate to the user's eye. The apparatus also including absorptive material positioned within the optical arrangement so as to absorb light having a first wavelength from the optical arrangement and re-emit light having a second wavelength where the second wavelength is different to the first wavelength.

Apparatus for use in a near eye display

The present invention provides an apparatus comprising a first out-coupling diffractive optical element and a second out-coupling diffractive optical element. Each of the first and second out-coupling diffractive optical elements comprises a first region having a first repeated diffraction spacing, d, and a second region adjacent to the first region having a second repeated diffraction spacing, d, different from the first spacing, d. The first region of the first out-coupling diffractive optical element is superposed on and aligned with the second region of the second out-coupling diffractive optical element. The second region of the first out-coupling diffractive optical element is superposed on and aligned with the first region of the second out-coupling diffractive optical element.

A method comprising determining an input axis that extends between an apparatus and a separate apparatus, receiving information indicative of an input object, the input object being proximate to the input axis, determining an input axis position on the input axis based, at least in part, on the input object, and determining an operational directive based, at least in part, on the input axis position is disclosed.

Input axis between an apparatus and a separate apparatus

A method is disclosed, comprising providing video data representing a plurality of frames of virtual reality content captured by a camera. A further step comprises determining a reference depth or object within the content. A further step comprises adjusting the position of content in one or more frames, based on the reference depth or object, to compensate for the movement of the camera during capture.

Virtual reality video processing to compensate for movement of a camera during capture

The present invention provides an apparatus including a first out-coupling diffractive optical element and a second out-coupling diffractive optical element. Each of the first and second out-coupling diffractive optical elements includes a first region having a first repeated diffraction spacing, d1, and a second region adjacent to the first region having a second repeated diffraction spacing, d2, different from the first spacing, d1. The first region of the first out-coupling diffractive optical element is superposed on and aligned with the second region of the second out-coupling diffractive optical element. The second region of the first out-coupling diffractive optical element is superposed on and aligned with the first region of the second out-coupling diffractive optical element.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to cause different multi-dimensional representations of an image to be presented upon a display and to facilitate changing from one multi-dimensional representation of the image to another multi-dimensional representation of the image, such as in response to a change in the shape of the display. In the context of a method, a first, multi-dimensional representation of an image is caused to be presented upon the display while the display has a first shape. The method also causes a second, multi-dimensional representation of the image, different than the first, multi-dimensional representation of the image, to be presented upon the display while the display has a second shape, different than the first shape. The method also determines the shape of the display such that the corresponding representation of the image is caused to be presented in response thereto.

An approach is provided for modifying the image content of returned images resulting from a search query. The portions of each image that is unrelated to the search query is omitted or other wise obscured so as to reduce the amount of image data in the search results. Additionally, related advertising, hyperlinks, or other object can be combined with the image data to enhance the information returned to the user.

Method and apparatus for providing visual search engine results

A method including identifying a plurality of common objects-of-interest in each of a plurality of videos, where each of the plurality of videos has a different viewing angle of the plurality of objects-of-interest; and automatically selecting a first one of the videos to send to a user based, at least partially, upon a selection by the user of one of the objects-of-interest.
