SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MIXED-REALITY EXPERIENCES UNDER LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating computer vision tasks (e.g., simultaneous location and mapping) and pass-through imaging include a head-mounted display (HMD) that includes a first set of one or more cameras configured for performing computer vision tasks and a second set of one or more cameras configured for capturing image data of an environment for projection to a user of the HMD. The first set of one or more cameras is configured to detect at least a visible spectrum light and at least a particular band of wavelengths of infrared (IR) light. The second set of one or more cameras includes one or more detachable IR filters configured to attenuate IR light, including at least a portion of the particular band of wavelengths of IR light.
