Abstract
A head mounted display (HMD) is provided. In one example configuration, the HMD has housing and a view port. The view port has a screen for rendering a virtual reality scene. The HMD has a communications device for exchanging data over a network. The HMD has a depth camera integrated in the housing and oriented to capture depth data of an environment in front of the housing. A processor is provided and is configured to use the depth data captured by the depth camera to identify real objects in the environment. A real object is rendered into the virtual reality scene. The real object is tracked such that movements of the real object are shown as movements in the virtual reality scene. The real object captured by the depth camera in the environment is a hand of a user wearing the HMD. The hand of the user is rendered as a virtual hand, and movements of the virtual hand are displayed in the screen of the viewport from a perspective that is in front of the user.
