Abstract
The device we are presenting is a patented HMD with a custom stereo camera mounted on the front side. With a 110°field of view for both augmented and virtual realities, we perform live software-based distortions using different methods for the HMD and cameras lenses for real-time rendering and the lowest photon-to-pixel time. The reality and the virtual space are properly aligned thanks to real-time distortion methods. The device is also fully autonomous and can track its translation and rotation in known and unknown environments thanks to Simultaneous Location and Mapping with the cameras, having the option to perform dense 3D reconstruction.
