TLDR
In this article, an obstacle detecting unit detects an obstacle for a user wearing a head mounted display from an image of the outside world, and an obstacle replacing unit replaces the detected obstacle with a virtual object.Abstract:
An obstacle detecting unit detects an obstacle for a user wearing a head mounted display from an image of the outside world. A distance calculating unit calculates the distance from a detected obstacle to the user wearing the head mounted display. An obstacle replacing unit replaces the detected obstacle with a virtual object. A virtual object synthesizing unit generates a virtual object at a position within a virtual space displayed on the head mounted display, in which the position is determined according to the distance to the obstacle.read more

Systems and methods for using reduced hops to generate an augmented virtual reality scene within a head mounted system
TL;DR: In this article, a head mounted display is used for game play via a game cloud system, which includes a communications circuit for sending real-world media associated with a game program via a network.
Patent
Image display device and image display method
TL;DR: In this paper, an image display device worn on a head or face and used to view images is presented. But it is not suitable for the use in the real world due to collision avoidance due to collisions with objects in the virtual world.
Patent
System and method for immersive and interactive multimedia generation
TL;DR: In this article, a method for projecting a plurality of patterns to a physical environment in which a second component of the system is located, acquiring, by the second component, a first image and a second image of at least a part of the physical environment, the first and second images including, respectively, first-and second-pixel data corresponding to at least some of the projected patterns, and determining a change in at least one of an orientation or a position of the second-component within the physical environments based on a relationship between the first- and the second pixel data.
