Abstract

An augmented reality system having a light source and a camera. The light source projects a pattern of light onto a scene, the pattern being periodic. The camera captures an image of the scene including the projected pattern. A projector pixel of the projected pattern corresponding to an image pixel of the captured image is determined. A disparity of each correspondence is determined, the disparity being an amount that corresponding pixels are displaced between the projected pattern and the captured image. A three-dimensional computer model of the scene is generated based on the disparity. A virtual object in the scene is rendered based on the three-dimensional computer model.
