Smart overview of the Invention

The motion sensory and imaging device described is designed to capture and present imaging information in near real-time. It can function independently or be integrated with wearable or portable devices to form a comprehensive sensory system. This system enhances the user's experience by overlaying virtual or created information onto the real-world scene being viewed.

Technical Field

This technology pertains to advanced sensory and imaging devices that detect gestures in a three-dimensional space using imaging sensors. It presents a three-dimensional augmented reality experience to users, integrating real-time environmental data with virtual elements.

Background

Existing devices like Google Glass and Oculus Rift either overlay information on transparent displays or provide immersive virtual reality experiences without real-world integration. A gap exists for devices that seamlessly integrate computational information into real-time environmental imagery, which this invention aims to address by offering a highly functional sensory system.

Functionality and Features

  • Utilizes stereoscopic imaging sensors and illumination sources for accurate scene capture.
  • Capable of gesture recognition using IR sensors, and provides a live video feed via RGB sensors.
  • Tracks motion by analyzing coarse features with RGB pixels and fine details with IR pixels.
  • Adapts to ambient lighting conditions by dynamically switching between RGB and IR imagery.

Implementation Variations

The device can capture image data using various combinations of RGB and IR pixels, adjusting based on environmental conditions and user preferences. This flexibility allows for enhanced image processing, whether capturing detailed textures or broader scene outlines, ensuring optimal presentation regardless of lighting or situational variables.
