Abstract

A method and system for time-motion compensation for use with head mounted displays is disclosed. According to the method, a remote camera captures an image for display on a head-mounted display (HMD) including a viewing window . The image and camera position data is transmitted to a system including the HMD for display to a wearer of the HMD. The HMD position is determined. An offset between the HMD position and a known position of the HMD is determine d as is an offset between the camera position and a known position of the camera. The image is offset relative to the viewing window of the image base d on the difference between the two determined offsets.

Claims (22)

1. A method of motion compensation for head mounted displays comprising the steps of:
providing a captured image from an image capture device to a head mounted display including a display having a field of view;
providing camera position data relating to a position of the camera and associated with the captured image;
providing HMD position data relating to a position of the head mounted display;
transforming the image to vary a displayed location of static objects within the image relative to the field of view in accordance with the camera position data and the HMD
position data; and, displaying portions of the image at the displayed locations, those portions remaining within the field of view.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the HMD position data is data relating to the present position of the head mounted display and wherein the camera position data is data relating to the position of the camera when the associated image is captured and wherein the step of transforming the image includes the steps of:
determining an offset between the HMD position and the camera position; and, offsetting the image such that it is offset an amount proportional to the offset between the HMD position and the camera position.
3. A method according to claim 2 wherein portions of the field of view for which image data is unavailable are filled with a predetermined fill.
4. A method according to claim 3 wherein the predetermined fill has features for maintaining orientation of a wearer of the head mounted display.
5. A method according to claim 1 wherein the captured image is larger than the image necessary to fill the field of view of the head mounted display, and wherein only a portion of the captured image is displayed.
6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the system comprises two head mounted displays and two cameras.
7. A method according to claim 1 wherein the system comprises:
an independent position sensor for sensing the camera position and for providing the camera position data.
8. A method according to claim 7 wherein the system comprises:
an independent position sensor for sensing the head mounted display position and for providing the HMD position data.
9. A method according to claim 1 wherein the system comprises:
an independent position sensor for sensing the head mounted display position and for providing the HMD position data.
10. A method according to claim 1 wherein the system comprises:
a mechanism for moving the camera; and means for transmitting the HMD position data to a system in communication with the mechanism for moving the camera, wherein the mechanism for moving the camera moves the camera in response to a change in HMD position data.
11. A method according to claim 1 wherein the HMD position data comprises orientation data.
12. A method according to claim 11 wherein the camera position data comprises orientation data.
13. A method according to claim 12 wherein the camera position data comprises displacement data.
14. A method according to claim 1 wherein the HMD position data comprises displacement data.
15. A method according to claim 14 wherein the camera position data comprises displacement data.
16 16. A method according to claim 15 wherein the camera position data comprises orientation data.
17. A method according to claim 1 comprising the step of transforming the image to reduce perspective distortion, wherein the camera includes a range sensor.
18. A motion compensation apparatus for head mounted displays comprising:
a head mounted display for displaying portions of an image at displayed locations, those portions remaining within the field of view;
an image capture device for providing a captured image to a head mounted display including a monitor having a field of view;
a sensor for providing camera position data relating to a position of the camera and associated with the captured image;
a sensor for providing HMD position data relating to a position of the head mounted display; and a processor for transforming the image to vary a displayed location of static objects within the image relative to the field of view in accordance with the camera position data and the HMD position data.
19. A motion compensation apparatus for head mounted displays according to claim 18 wherein the image capture device comprises a range sensor.
20. A motion compensation apparatus for head mounted displays according to claim 19 wherein the range sensor includes a stereoscopic imaging system.
21. A method according to claim 2 comprising the step of:
when portions of the field of view for which image data is unavailable are detected, determining earlier captured image data that when transformed in dependence upon its associated camera position data and the HMD position data is for display within the portions; and, displaying with those portions of the field of view the transformed earlier captured image data.
22. A method according to claim 21 wherein the step of displaying transformed earlier captured image data includes a step of de-emphasising the transformed earlier captured image data.
