DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

For clearer descriptions of the principles, technical solutions and advantages in the present disclosure, the implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment related to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The implementation environment involves a virtual reality display system. As shown in FIG. 1, the virtual reality display system includes a terminal 101 and a virtual reality device 102. The terminal 101 is communicatively connected to the virtual reality device 102 over a wired or wireless network. For example, the wired network is universal serial bus (USB), and the wireless network is wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi), data, Bluetooth, ZigBee, or the similar, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

The terminal 101 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, or the like. The virtual reality device 102 may be a head-mounted display device, such as a pair of VR glasses or a VR helmet. The virtual reality device 102 is provided with a posture sensor which may collect head posture information of a user wearing the virtual reality device 102. The posture sensor is a high-performance three-dimensional motion posture measuring device based on a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology, and the device usually includes auxiliary motion sensors such as a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis electronic compass. The posture sensor uses these auxiliary motion sensors to collect posture information.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal 101 renders the first virtual reality image at the first rendering resolution to acquire the first rendered image, and sends the first rendered image to the virtual reality device 102, such that the virtual reality device 102 displays the first rendered image. The terminal 101 renders the second virtual reality image at the second rendering resolution to acquire the second rendered image, and sends the second rendered image to the virtual reality device 102, such that the virtual reality device 102 displays the second rendered image. The first rendering resolution is less than the second rendering resolution, and the first and the second virtual reality images are two adjacent frames of images, that is, the terminal may render one of the two adjacent frames of images at a low rendering resolution, and render the other of the two adjacent frames of images at a high rendering resolution instead of rendering each of the frames of images at a high rendering resolution. Therefore, it helps to reduce the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an image rendering method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be used for the terminal 101 in the implementation environment shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include the following steps.

In step 201, a first virtual reality image is rendered at a first rendering resolution to acquire a first rendered image.

In step 202, the first rendered image is sent to the virtual reality device.

After receiving the first rendered image, the virtual reality device may display the first rendered image.

In step 203, a second virtual reality image is rendered at a second rendering resolution to acquire a second rendered image. The first rendering resolution is less than the second rendering resolution, and the first and the second virtual reality images are two adjacent frames of images.

In step 204, the second rendered image is sent to the virtual reality device.

After receiving the second rendered image, the virtual reality device may display the second rendered image.

In summary, in the virtual reality display method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal renders the first virtual reality image at the first rendering resolution to acquire the first rendered image, and renders the second virtual reality image at the second rendering resolution to acquire the second rendered image. The first rendering resolution is less than the second rendering resolution, and the first and the second virtual reality images are two adjacent frames of images. Because the terminal renders one of the two adjacent frames of images at a low rendering resolution, and renders the other of the two adjacent frames of images at a high rendering resolution instead of rendering each of the frames of images at a high rendering resolution, it helps to reduce the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of another image rendering method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be used in the implementation environment shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the method may include the following steps.

In step 301, the terminal acquires a field of view of the virtual reality device and first head posture information of a user wearing the virtual reality device.

Optionally, the virtual reality device may send the field of view of the virtual reality device to the terminal by a communicative connection with the terminal, and the terminal may acquire the field of view of the virtual reality device by receiving the field of view of the virtual reality device sent by the virtual reality device. Optionally, the virtual reality device may send the field of view of the virtual reality device to the terminal when the communicative connection with the terminal is established, or the terminal may send a field of view acquisition request to the virtual reality device, and the virtual reality device may send the field of view of the virtual reality device to the terminal after receiving the field of view acquisition request, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Optionally, the virtual reality device may be worn on the head of a user, and the virtual reality device is provided with a posture sensor. The virtual reality device may collect the first head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device by the posture sensor, and send the first head posture information to the terminal by the communicative connection with the terminal. The terminal acquires the first head posture information by receiving the first head posture information sent by the virtual reality device. It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that during the virtual reality display process, the head posture information of a user changes in real time, that the virtual reality device may collect in real time and send the head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device to the terminal, and that the first head posture information is the head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device collected in real time by the virtual reality device.

In step 302, the terminal acquires a first virtual reality image according to the field of view of the virtual reality device and first head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device.

Optionally, the terminal is equipped with a virtual camera, and the terminal may shoot the virtual reality scene of the terminal by the virtual camera according to the field of view of the virtual reality device and the first head posture information of the user wearing the virtual display device to acquire the first virtual reality image which may include a left-eye image and a right-eye image, such that a three-dimensional virtual reality display effect may be realized.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of shooting the virtual reality scene by the terminal by the virtual camera is processing the coordinates of an object in the virtual reality scene by the terminal. The terminal may determine a conversion matrix and a projection matrix according to the field of view of the virtual reality device and the first head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device, determine the coordinates of the object in the virtual reality scene according to the conversion matrix, and project the object in the virtual reality scene on a two-dimensional plane according to the coordinates of the object in the virtual reality scene and the projection matrix to acquire the first virtual reality image.

In step 303, the terminal renders an entire area of a first virtual reality image at a first rendering resolution to acquire a first rendered image.

The first rendering resolution may be less than the screen resolution of the virtual reality device. For example, the first rendering resolution is ½ (i.e., one-half), ¼ (i.e., one-quarter) or ⅛ (i.e., one-eighth) of the screen resolution of the virtual reality device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the screen resolution of the virtual reality device is 4K×4K (i.e., 4096×4096), the first rendering resolution is 2K×2K (i.e., 2048×2048), and the first rendering resolution is ½ of the screen resolution of the virtual reality device. Because the first rendering resolution is less than the screen resolution of the virtual reality device, rendering the entire area of the first virtual reality image by the terminal at the first rendering resolution may reduce the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal.

Optionally, the terminal divides the first virtual reality image into a plurality of primitives of the same size, converts each primitive into fragments by rasterization, and renders a plurality of fragments at the first rendering resolution to acquire the first rendered image.

In step 304, the terminal performs virtual reality processing on the first rendered image.

The virtual reality device includes a lens. Due to the limitation of lens design and production process, the lens has defects, which causes deformation to the image observed by human eyes by the lens, such that the image observed by human eyes by the virtual reality device is distorted. Light with different colors has different refraction angles when passing through the lens, such that the image observed by human eyes by the virtual reality device is dispersed. The head posture information of the user changes in real time. It takes time for the terminal to render the image. The head posture information at the moment of image displaying is different from the head posture information of the user at the moment of image acquiring, and thereby causing a delay in the displayed image.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may perform virtual reality processing on the first rendered image, and the virtual reality processing may include at least one of anti-distortion processing, anti-dispersion processing, and synchronous time warp processing. The terminal performs anti-distortion processing to the first rendered image, such that the image displayed by the virtual reality device is an anti-distortion image, and there is no distortion in the image observed by human eyes by the lens of the virtual reality device. The terminal performs anti-dispersion processing to the first rendered image, such that the image displayed by the virtual reality device is an anti-dispersion image, and there is no dispersion in the image observed by human eyes by the lens of the virtual reality device. The terminal performs synchronous time warp processing to the first rendered image, such that there is no delay in the image displayed by the virtual reality device.

Optionally, the terminal may establish a screen coordinate system and a coordinates system of the field of view of the virtual reality device. The screen coordinate system may be a plane coordinate system, with the projection point of the optical axis of the lens of the virtual reality device on the screen of the virtual reality device as an origin of coordinates, a first direction as a y-axis positive direction, and a second direction as an x-axis positive direction. The coordinate system of the field of view may be a plane coordinate system, with the center point (i.e., the intersection of the optical axis and the plane of the lens) of the lens of the virtual reality device as the origin of coordinates, a third direction as the y-axis positive direction, and a fourth direction as the x-axis positive direction. The first direction may be an upward direction with the user as the reference when the user wears the virtual reality device in a normal condition. The second direction may be a rightwards direction with the user as the reference when the user wears the virtual reality device in a normal condition. The third direction is parallel to the first direction. The fourth direction is parallel to the second direction.

The terminal may divide the first rendered image into a plurality of rectangular primitives of the same size to acquire the screen grid image of the first rendered image (i.e., the grid image of the first rendered image in the screen coordinate system, for example, as shown in FIG. 4.), and determine the field of view grid image of the first rendered image (i.e., the grid image of the first rendered image in the coordinate system of the field of view, for example, as shown in FIG. 5) according to the screen grid image of the first rendered image. There is no distortion in the screen grid image, but there is distortion in the field of view grid image, and thus the anti-distortion processing of the first rendered image is realized. The terminal may store an anti-distortion mapping relationship. The process of determining the field of view grid image of the first rendered image according to the screen grid image of the first rendered image may include: mapping the vertex of each primitive in the screen grid image of the first rendered image by the terminal to the coordinate system of the field of view according to the coordinates and anti-distortion mapping relation of the vertex of each primitive in the screen grid image of the first rendered image, so as to acquire the field of view grid image of the first rendered image; and mapping the grayscale value of each primitive in the screen grid image of the first rendered image to the corresponding primitive in the field of view grid image of the first rendered image according to the coordinate of the vertex of each primitive in the field of view grid image of the first rendered image, so as to acquire the anti-distorted first rendered image. For example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a screen grid image of a first rendered image according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the field of view grid image of a first rendered image according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Optionally, the terminal may determine the dispersion parameter of the lens of the virtual reality device. The dispersion parameter of the lens may include the dispersion parameter of the lens to red light, the dispersion parameter of the lens to green light, and the dispersion parameter of the lens to blue light. The terminal performs anti-dispersion processing to the first rendered image by means of an anti-dispersion algorithm to acquire the anti-dispersed first rendered image.

Optionally, the terminal may perform a distortion process to the first rendered image according to the previous frame of image of the first rendered image by means of a synchronous time warp technology, so as to acquire the first rendered image after the synchronous time warp processing.

Those skilled in the art would readily understand that the anti-distortion processing, anti-dispersion processing, and synchronous time warp processing may be performed synchronously or in order to the first rendered image by the terminal. For example, the terminal first performs the anti-distortion processing to the first rendered image to acquire the anti-distorted first rendered image, and then performs anti-dispersion processing to the anti-distorted first rendered image to acquire the anti-dispersed first rendered image, and finally performs synchronous time warp processing to the anti-dispersed first rendered image; or the terminal first performs the anti-dispersion processing to the first rendered image to acquire the anti-dispersed first rendered image, and then performs the anti-distortion processing to the anti-dispersed first rendered image to acquire the anti-distorted first rendered image, and finally performs synchronous time warp processing to the anti-dispersed first rendered image, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step 305, the terminal sends the first rendered image to the virtual reality device.

After performing virtual reality processing on the first rendered image, the terminal may send the first rendered image, i.e., the first rendered image after the terminal sends virtual reality processing on the virtual reality device, to the virtual reality device.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as the first rendered image is an image acquired by the terminal by means of rendering the entire area of the first virtual reality image at the first rendering resolution, the resolution of the first rendered image is the first rendering resolution. As the first rendering resolution is less than the screen resolution of the virtual reality device, the resolution of the first rendered image is less than the screen resolution of the virtual reality device. Optionally, before the first rendered image is sent to the virtual reality device, the terminal may stretch the first rendered image such that the resolution of the first rendered image is equal to the resolution of the display screen of the virtual reality device. For example, the terminal performs pixel interpolation to the first rendered image such that the resolution of the first rendered image after pixel interpolation is equal to the resolution of the display screen of the virtual reality device.

In step 306, the virtual reality device displays the first rendered image.

In contrast to that the terminal sends the first rendered image to the virtual reality device, the virtual reality device receives the first rendered image sent by the terminal, and then, the virtual reality device displays the first rendered image. For example, the first rendered image displayed by the virtual reality device may be as shown in FIG. 8.

In step 307, the terminal acquires second head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device.

In step 308, the terminal acquires a second virtual reality image according to the field of view of the virtual reality device and the second head posture information of the user wearing the virtual reality device.

For the implementation process of the step 308, reference may be made to step 302, which is not repeated herein in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step 309, the terminal acquires the fixation field of view of the user wearing the virtual reality device.

For example, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method for acquiring a fixation field of view of a user wearing a virtual reality device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 9, the method may include the following steps.

In sub-step 3091, coordinates of a fixation point of the user wearing the virtual reality device are acquired based on an eye tracking technology.

The terminal may acquire an eye image of the user wearing the virtual reality device based on the eye tracking technology, acquire the information of pupil center and spot position (the light spot is a reflection bright spot formed by the screen of the virtual reality device on the cornea of the user) of the user based on the eye image of the user, and determine the coordinates of the fixation point according to the information of the pupil center and spot position of the user.

In sub-step 3092, the fixation field of view of the user wearing the virtual reality device is determined according to the coordinates of the fixation point of the user wearing the virtual reality device.

Optionally, the terminal may acquire the viewing angle range of the human eye based on the eye tracking technology, and determine the fixation field of view of the user wearing the virtual reality device according to the coordinates of the fixation point and the viewing angle range of the human eye. The coordinates of the fixation point may be the coordinates of the fixation point of the human eye in the field of view coordinate system.

For example, if the coordinates of the fixation point acquired by the terminal based on the eye tracking technology are (P_x, P_y), the viewing angle range of the human eye along the x-axis (for example, the horizontal viewing angle range) is h, and the viewing angle range along the y-axis (for example, the vertical viewing angle range) is v, then the terminal determines that the fixation field of view may be (P_y+v/2, P_y−v/2, P_x−h/2, P_x+h/2).

In step 310, the terminal determines a target area of the second virtual reality image according to the fixation field of view of the user.

Optionally, the target area may be a fixation area. The terminal determines the area corresponding to fixation field of view of the user on the second virtual reality image as the target area. For example, the fixation field of view of the user is (P_y+v/2, P_y−v/2, P_x−h/2, P_x+h/2), the corresponding area of the fixation field of view may be a rectangular area with vertexes being P_y+v/2, P_y−v/2, P_x−h/2 and P_x+h/2. The terminal determines the rectangular area as the target area.

In step 311, the terminal renders the target area of the second virtual reality image at the second rendering resolution to acquire a second rendered image.

The second rendering resolution may be the screen resolution of the virtual reality device. The target area is a part of the second virtual reality image. Because the terminal renders a part of the second virtual reality image, but not the entire area of the second virtual reality image, at the second rendering resolution, the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal can be reduced.

Optionally, the terminal may divide the target area of the second virtual reality image into a plurality of primitives of the same size, convert each primitive into fragments by rasterization, and render a plurality of fragments at the second rendering resolution to acquire the second rendered image.

In step 312, the terminal performs virtual reality processing on the second rendered image.

For the implementation process of the step 312, reference may be made to step 304, which will not be repeated here in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step 313, the terminal black-fills the non-target area of the second rendered image to acquire a black-filled second rendered image.

The non-target area of the second rendered image may be an area other than the target area in the second rendered image, and the target area of the second rendered image corresponds to the target area of the second virtual reality image.

Optionally, the terminal may configure the grayscale value of each pixel in the non-target area of the second rendered image to be zero, such that the pixels in the non-target area do not emit light, and thereby performing black-filling to the non-target area of the second rendered image to acquire the black-filled second rendered image.

In step 314, the terminal sends the black-filled second rendered image to the virtual reality device.

In step 315, the virtual reality device displays the black-filled second rendered image.

In contrast to that the terminal sends the black-filled second rendered image to the virtual reality device, the virtual reality device receives the black-filled second rendered image sent by the terminal, and then, the virtual reality device displays the black-filled second rendered image. For example, the black-filled second rendered image displayed by the virtual reality device may be as shown in FIG. 10. The image is displayed in the target area Q1, and the color of the non-target area Q2 is black.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first and the second virtual reality images are two adjacent frames of images. The terminal renders the entire area of one of the two adjacent frames of images at a low rendering resolution, renders a part of the area of the other of the two adjacent frames of images at a high rendering resolution, and sends the two adjacent frames of images to the virtual reality device in sequence, such that the virtual reality device displays the two adjacent frames of images in sequence. In this way, the fixation point rendering effect is shown by taking advantage of the visual persistence characteristics of human eyes. The current fixation point rendering technologies include multi-resolution rendering (MRS) technology, lens matching rendering (LMS) technology, variable rate rendering (VRS) technology and the like. In the current fixation point rendering technologies, the terminal renders the fixation area (i.e., the fixation area of human eyes on the image) of the image at a high rendering resolution (for example, the screen resolution of the virtual reality device) for each frame of the image, and renders the area other than the fixation area on the image at a low rendering resolution. Because the terminal shall render the entire area of each frame of the image, the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal is high. However, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal renders the entire area of one of the two adjacent frames of images at a low rendering resolution, and renders a part of the other of the two adjacent frames of images at a high rendering resolution. By taking advantage of the visual persistence characteristics of human eyes, the fixation point rendering effect is presented. That is, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may show the rendering effect of fixation point. Moreover, compared with the current fixation point rendering technologies, the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal may be reduced because the entire area of each frame of the image is not rendered.

Those skilled in the art would readily understand that the sequence of steps for the virtual reality display method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be adjusted appropriately, and the steps may also be added or subtracted according to the situation. Within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure, any variant which can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art shall be covered within the protection scope of the present disclosure, and therefore will not be repeated here.

Because one of the two adjacent frames of images is rendered at a low rendering resolution and the other of the two adjacent frames of images is rendered at a high rendering resolution (but not each of the frames of images is rendered at a high rendering resolution), it helps to reduce the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal.

Because one of the two adjacent frames of images is rendered at a low rendering resolution and the other of the two adjacent frames of images is rendered at a high rendering resolution (but not each of the frames of images is rendered at a high rendering resolution), it is conductive to reducing the rendering workload of the graphics card of the terminal.

When the user's identity is identified as trusted, the processor 501 authorizes the user to perform related sensitive operations, such as unlocking the screen, viewing encrypted information, downloading software, paying, and changing settings. The fingerprint sensor 514 may be provided on the front, back, or side of the virtual reality display device 500. When the virtual reality display device 500 is provided with a physical button or a manufacturer's logo, the fingerprint sensor 514 may be integrated with the physical button or the manufacturer's logo.

The optical sensor 515 is configured to collect ambient light intensity. In one embodiment, the processor 501 is capable of controlling the display luminance of the touch display screen 505 according to the ambient light intensity captured by the optical sensor 515. For example, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display luminance of the touch display screen 505 is increased; and when the ambient light intensity is low, the display luminance of the touch display screen 505 is decreased. In another embodiment, the processor 501 may also dynamically adjust shooting parameters of the camera component 506 according to the ambient light intensity captured by the optical sensor 515.

The proximity sensor 516, also referred to as a distance sensor, is usually disposed on the front panel of the virtual reality display device 500. The proximity sensor 516 is configured to capture a distance between the user and a front surface of the virtual reality display device 500. In one embodiment, when the proximity sensor 516 detects that the distance between the user and the front surface of the virtual reality display device 500 becomes gradually smaller, the processor 501 controls the touch display screen 505 to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state. When it is detected that the distance between the user and the front surface of the virtual reality display device 500 gradually increases, the processor 501 controls the touch display screen 505 to switch from the screen-off state to the screen-on state.
