Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating augmented reality (AR) scenes where the AR scenes can be adjusted to modify at least part of an image of the physical features of a user to produce a virtual mesh of the physical features. The method includes generating an augmented reality (AR) scene for rendering on a display for a user wearing AR glasses, the AR scene includes a real-world space and virtual objects overlaid in the real-world space. The method includes analyzing a field of view into the AR scene from the AR glasses; the analyzing is configured to detect images of physical features of the user when the field of view is directed toward at least part of said physical features of the user. The method includes adjusting the AR scene, in substantial real-time, to modify at least part of the images of the physical features of the user when the physical features of the user are detected to be in the AR scene as viewed from the field of view of the AR glasses, wherein said modifying includes detecting depth data and original texture data from said physical features to produce a virtual mesh of said physical features; the virtual mesh is changed in size and shape and rendered using modified texture data that blends with said original texture data. In one embodiment, the modified physical features of the user appear to the user when viewed via the AR glasses as existing in the real-world space. In this way, when the physical features of a user are detected to be in the AR scene, the physical features are augment in the AR scene which can result in the self-perception of the user improving which in turn can provide the user with confidence to overcome challenging tasks or obstacles during the gameplay of the user.
