Description

A SYSTEM WORN BY A MOVING USER FOR FULLY AUGMENTING REALITY BY ANCHORING VIRTUAL OBJECTS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to augmented reality systems, and more particularly to a system to visually anchor virtual objects to real world objects functionally and behaviorally, to create an integrated, comprehensive, rational augmented reality environment in a fixed position and where the user/observer can move around without loss of context, including relative position, 3D perspective and viewing angle of the virtual objects in the real world, and the interaction between the virtual objects with the real world and between multiple virtual objects. Interaction of virtual objects for multiple users is also enabled, wherein the system has been provided for each of the multiple users in communication with each other.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real- world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. AR is related to the more general mediated reality (MR) concept, in which a view of reality is modified, rather than augmented by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing the current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a completely simulated one.

Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as current and external sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of advanced AR technology, e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition, the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulatable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be overlaid on the real world.

Research explores the application of computer-generated imagery in live- video streams in order to enhance the perception of the real world. AR technology includes head-mounted displays and virtual retinal displays for visualization and building of controlled environments, enabled by sensors and actuators.

See-through glasses are an existing technology, which comprise: an electro optic device; and a pair of transparent glasses, which project a given display screen seen with the user's eyesight, as if it were a real display screen in the real world with a focal length at infinity, so the display images can be seen, although it is positioned at a close proximity to the eyes. Since see-through glasses screen to each eye separately, the image displayed can be very realistic 3 dimensional holography. Since the color black is seen as transparent in the see-through glasses, because black does not return light, objects within a black screen are insulated and are seen normally as they exist.

Total Immersion is an augmented reality company whose D'Fusion technology uses the black frame feature to merge real time interactive 3D graphics into a live video sources."

Thus, it would be advantageous to provide a wearable solution that also overcomes the limited applicability of augmented reality systems to preserve realism during movements of the user/observer, and thereby enable more realistic and resourceful integration of virtual and real elements in the user's environment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to enable more realistic and resourceful integration of virtual and real elements in the user/observer's environment.

It is another principal object of the present invention to visually anchor chosen virtual objects to the real world, functionally and behaviorally, in order to create an integrated, comprehensive, rational augmented reality environment, both in a fixed position and on the move.

It is one other principal object of the present invention to provide a system (hardware) worn by a moving user/observer and method (algorithm/software), to anchor computer generated images superimposed to the real world using see- through glasses, providing integration of the data input from the system, elaborated by the method and creating the solution output, as displayed for the user/observer through see-through glasses.

It is still another principal object of the present invention to provide IMU stabilization to a specific azimuth in the coordinate the space - moving the CGI within a black frame, using a compensation formula.(soft anchoring).

It is yet another principal object of the present invention to provide computer vision (CV) dynamic 3D integration of the computer generated image (CGI) to the real world using real world objects as markers (hard anchoring), to which the virtual objects are realistically related.

It is one further principal object of the present invention to implement computer vision and elaboration of the image based on perspective. It is yet one other principal object of the present invention to enable software applications by building a dynamic data base of virtual objects in realistic interaction with the rest of the world.

A set of logic rules dedicated to process computer generated images according to their defined nature of interaction including positioning, perspective, functionality and behavior.

A set of logic rules dedicated to share a virtual world among individuals creating a sequence of actions and its respective image processing, and according to each individual and his relative view angle and perspective.

A software development kit (SDK) including dedicated to allow any developer to create applications of any kind integrating a virtual world with the real world.

The source image is the computer generated image (CGI), as opposed to the image displayed on the black frame. The video image received by the cameras installed on the see through device is the reference of the real world from which the software identifies real objects as markers, using computer vision applications and respective algorithms, in order to "hard anchor" (i.e., tight relative connection between the virtual object and the says real object) the CGI to the real world. The source image (CGI) is to be distinguished from the reference image for anchoring using computer vision

Soft anchoring is anchoring to a certain point, independent of any modifications and circumstances in the real world. By contrast, hard anchoring is anchoring to objects in the real world, pin-pointed by the markers, including modification and transformation, perspective, broken, etc., in space, not to a specific object in the real world.

Since the systems should enable soft and hard anchoring on the move (body and head movements) this movement is measured and compensated for by the IMU device installed on the observation device.

It is one other principal object of the present invention to include the relative location, perspective and viewing angle of virtual objects in the portrayal of the real world, and the interaction between virtual objects with the real world and with other virtual objects.

It is a further principal object of the present invention to anchor virtual objects to the real world using see-through glasses.

Some examples: 3D image view and anchoring: If the viewer is watching a virtual sculpture while walking around it, he will see the sculpture from different angles accordingly to his viewing angle in relation to the sculpture.

Changing perspective on the move: If the viewer sees a virtual sign when driving his car on a road, the sign size will increase in size as a function of the viewer's distance from the sign when approaching the sign.

Physical characterization of the virtual object: If a tennis ball strongly hits a virtual glass of water, the glass will break and the water will be spilled because of the impact. But if a light paper ball will hit the same virtual glass of water, the glass of water will keep standing, despite the impact caused by the paper ball. That is to say the virtual glass and both types of ball contain online access to "Wikipedia-type" specific reference information within the solution (outcome of current events) concerning relative weights, sizes, impact angles and other relative physical data.

It is a still further principal object of the present invention to provide a head- mounted display comprising see-through glasses, a virtual retina display device or any other device or technology which allows a computer generated image (CGI) to be superimposed on a real-world view.

The head-mounted display (HMD) is worn on the head or as part of a helmet that has a small display optic in front of one eye (monocular HMD) or each eye (binocular HMD).

A typical HMD has either one or two small displays with lenses and semi- transparent mirrors embedded in a helmet, eye-glasses (also known as data glasses) or visor. The display units are miniaturized and may include cathode ray tube (CRT), liquid crystal display (LCD), Liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), or Organic Light- Emitting Diode (OLED). In preferred embodiments multiple micro-displays are implemented to increase total resolution and field of view.

The device enables a computer generated image (CGI) to be superimposed on a real-world view. Combining real-world view with CGI is accomplished by projecting the CGI through a partially reflective mirror and viewing the real world directly. This method is often called Optical See-Through. Combining real-world view with CGI can also be done electronically by accepting video from a camera and mixing it electronically with CGI. This method is often called Video See-Through.

A virtual retinal display (VRD), also known as a retinal scan display (RSD) or retinal projector (RP), is a display technology that draws a raster display, typical of television, directly onto the retina of the user's eyes. The user sees what appears to be a conventional display floating in space in front of his eyes. The present invention provides a computer generated image integrated on a real-world view, seen by the observer on the see through display glasses he is wearing at the time. The virtual objects will be seen by the observer, all around him, as those were real objects in the real world, displayed on the glasses he is wearing at the time, seen on his eyesight only.

It is one further principal object of the present invention to enable 3^rd-party development of applications concerning the integration of a virtual world with the real world, and anywhere in the world. The method involves defining each virtual object, relevant to the specific application, and the nature of its interaction with the rest of the world

It is yet a further principal object of the present invention to provide a software solution which involves data input deriving from dedicated hardware devices integrated on the glasses. The solution software utilizes the data input in order to anchor the virtual objects as seen through the glasses, to the real world, using different approaches.

It is yet one further principal object of a preferred embodiment of the present invention to anchor a virtual object to a specific point in space using the combination of the dual cameras installed on the display unit and an inertial movement unit (IMU) device integrated on the display unit as well.

An inertial measurement unit, or IMU, is an electronic device that measures and reports on a craft's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes. IMU's are typically used to maneuver aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's), among many others, and spacecraft, including shuttles, satellites and landers. Recent developments allow for the production of IMU enabled GPS devices. An IMU allows a GPS to work when GPS-signals are unavailable, such as in tunnels, inside buildings, or when electronic interference is present. A wireless IMU is known as a WIMU.

The IMU is the main component of inertial navigation systems used in air, spacet, water vehicles, and guided missiles among others. Thus, the data collected from the IMU's sensors allow computer-tracking of a vehicle's position, using dead reckoning. IMU detects the current rate of acceleration using accelerometers, and detects changes in rotational attributes like pitch, roll and yaw using one or more gyroscopes.

In order to stabilize a displayed image to a certain point in space, the source image size is reduced and projected into a full size black frame in which the source image floats. The floating aspect of the black frame may be defined as an aspect of a "black hydraulic frame." The black frame containing the source image is transmitted to the glasses projector for display. Since the black color is seen as transparent in the glasses since black does not return light. Objects within a black screen are isolated and seen as they are. I.e., the observer does not see the black frame but only the source image.

The source image is inserted in the black frame as inverse movenent to the head movement, according to the IMU data input, using a compensation calculation formula. In this way, the source image, as seen through the glasses, is steady at a certain point in space within the user's field of view. A virtual object is anchored to the real world, visually and functionally, using computer vision applications and a video camera integrated on the glasses.

The combination of the cameras and the IMU enable hard anchoring of the virtual and real objects, while the viewer can be on the move since the system can separate the viewer movements from the object movements.

Computer vision (CV) is a field that includes methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing and understanding images. In general, CV acquires multidimensional data from the real world in order to produce decision-based numerical or symbolic information. A recent CV development has been to duplicate the abilities of human vision by electronically perceiving and understanding an image. This image understanding can be seen as the disentangling of symbolic information from image data using models constructed with the aid of geometry, physics, statistics and learning theory.

As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images. The image data can take many forms, such as video sequences, views from multiple cameras, or multi- dimensional data from a medical scanner. Sub-domains of computer vision include scene reconstruction, event detection, video tracking, object recognition, learning, indexing, motion estimation and image restoration. In most practical CV applications, the computers are pre-programmed to solve a particular task, but methods based on learning are now becoming increasingly common.

According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, CV is used to recognize structures and objects in the real world. Using a set of rules regarding the characteristics of each and every virtual object, and concerning its visual and functional behavior within the real world, including different view angles and perspective, markers are created in the real world and the virtual objects are anchored to them.

For example:

A virtual tea cup cannot float in the air and should be bound to a solid surface. If the virtual tea cup sits on a real table, and somebody turns the real table around, the tea cup should turn around accordingly relative to the table, and should be seen as a 3D tea cup turning around from all perspectives.

Two actions need to be differentiated.

1 . A user is looking at a particular field of vision. His head is naturally moving, smoothly. The virtual objects seen on the certain field of vision are steady, as if they were real objects. This is because they (the source CGI images) are displayed, and float, within a black frame. 2. The user is looking around. He sees a table. On the table there is a virtual cup of tea. This is because the algorithm recognizes that this specific cup of tea should be on that specific table and with the very same geo-position. When he looks around the algorithm recognizes, through computer vision, this particular table -as a marker - and displays this particular cup of tea - this CGI.

The present invention relies on 2D information, 3D static information and dynamic computer vision (CV). Anchoring a virtual object to the real world concerning 3D motion and perspective, visually and functionally, using binocular computer vision and two video cameras integrated on the glasses. In some ways CV is the inverse of computer graphics. While computer graphics produces image data from 3D models, CV often produces 3D models from image data.

In binocular CV two cameras are used together. Having two cameras confers a few advantages over having one. First, it gives a wider field of view. For example, humans have a maximum horizontal field of view of approximately 200 degrees with two eyes, approximately 120 degrees of which makes up the binocular field of view as seen by both eyes flanked by two uniocular fields (seen by only one eye) of approximately 40 degrees. Second, it gives binocular summation in which the ability to detect faint objects is enhanced. Third, it can give stereopsis, in which parallax provided by the two cameras different positions give precise depth perception.

Implementing optical character recognition (OCR) applications

Optical character recognition (OCR) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used as a form of data entry from some sort of original paper data source, whether documents, sales receipts, mail or any number of other printed records. It is crucial to the computerization of printed texts so that they can be electronically searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech and text mining. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.

Implementing gesture control applications

Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state, but commonly originate from the face , hands and voice. Current focus in the field includes emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture recognition. Enhanced results have been achieved using cameras and CV algorithms to interpret sign language. However, the identification and recognition of posture, gait, proxemics, and human behavior are also subjects of gesture recognition techniques.

Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to begin to understand human body language, thus building a richer bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even graphical user interfaces (GUI's), which still limit the majority of keyboard and mouse input.

Gesture recognition enables humans to interface with the machine (HMI) and interact naturally without any mechanical devices. Using the concept of gesture recognition, it is possible to point a finger at the computer screen so that the cursor will move accordingly. This could potentially make conventional input devices such as mouse, keyboard and even touch-screen redundant. Gesture recognition can be implemented with techniques from CV and image processing.

The present invention can be implemented using any smartphone as a computer, any other computer system or using cloud computing.

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility, such as the electricity grid, over a network, typically the Internet. Cloud computing typically entrusts centralized services with data, software, and computation on a published application programming interface (API) over a network. It has a lot of overlap with software as a service (SaaS).

End users access cloud based applications through a web browser or a light weight desktop or mobile app while the business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. Cloud application providers strive to give the same or better service and performance than if the software programs were installed locally on end-user computers. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of Converged Infrastructure (CI) and shared services. This type of data center environment allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with easier manageability and less maintenance, and enables information technology (IT) to more rapidly adjust IT resources, such as servers, storage, and networking, to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demand.

The present invention provides for Implementing individual applications, implementing multi-user applications, and using wireless technologies and self- supply energy technologies.

The present invention provides a software development kit (SDK). The SDK includes a data base containing specific definitions for each and every virtual object concerning the nature of its visual, functional and behavioral characteristics, including its interaction characteristics with the rest of the world, virtual and real. The SDK includes a set of logic rules concerning features of any kind relevant to the development of applications which integrate a virtual world with a real world.

Information sharing is defined between individuals to create a common virtual world integrated with the real world. For example:

Imagine a tennis match viewed from the side. The observer looks to his left and sees player A hitting the ball. Then he looks to his right and sees player B hitting the ball. Player B's reaction was caused by player A's action, and so on. The interaction between the two players concerns ball speed and direction as caused by each of them in turn, as affected by his opponent's previous action. The tennis match is a sequence of interactions between the two players.

If the two players were operated by two different computers, the interaction between them would be a result of the interaction between the two applications as implemented by the two different computers. The tennis match would be then a sequence of interactions between two independent applications.

In the particular example of a tennis match, the ball should be displayed in both applications reflecting the sequence of actions and reactions, concerning speed and direction, calculated in each application as a result of the previous action, and creating a mutual logic between the two independent applications. In terms of virtual intelligence, this mutual logic represents the "intelligence of the ball."

According to preferred embodiments of the present invention this is an essential requirement in order to implement mobile augmented reality. The "intelligence of the ball" logic enables mobile augmented reality as a personal solution for each user, as well as a common solution for all users, allowing many to implement a common experience, each one from his unique point of view and by his unique sequence of interactions with the general experience, and with each of the others, separately.

The present invention enables a dedicated micro processor to activate and implement applications, including IMU anchoring, computer vision anchoring, external computer system emulation, application interfacing, OCR applications, gesture control applications and other applications relevant to the invention. All the above and other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be further understood through the following illustrative and non-limitative description of preferred embodiments thereof.
