MIXED-REALITY OR VIRTUAL-REALITY CAMERA SYSTEM

A head-mounted display (HMD) for MR/VR systems that includes a two-dimensional array of cameras that capture images of respective portions of a scene. The cameras are positioned along a spherical surface so that the cameras have adjacent fields of view. The entrance pupils of the cameras are positioned at or near the user's eye while the cameras also form optimized images at the sensor. Methods for reducing the number of cameras in an array, as well as methods for reducing the number of pixels read from the array and processed by the pipeline, are also described. 一种用于MR/VR系统的包括二维相机阵列的头戴式显示器(HMD)，该二维相机阵列捕获场景的相应部分的图像。该相机沿着球面表面定位，使得该相机具有相邻视场。该相机的入射光瞳位于用户的眼睛处或附近，而该相机也在该传感器处形成优化图像。本公开还描述了用于减少阵列中相机的数量的方法，以及用于减少从该阵列读取并且由流水线处理的像素的数量的方法。
