Abstract
An HMD adjusts adjusting depth information based on detected motion of the system. The HMD includes a depth camera that collects depth data for objects in the local environment of the HMD. The HMD further includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) including non-visual motion sensors such as one or more accelerometers, gyroscopes, and the like. The HMD adjusts the received depth information based on motion data provided by the IMU, thereby improving the accuracy of the depth information, and in turn reducing visual artifacts that can result from inaccuracies in the depth information.
