Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for handling real-world light sources in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting implementation, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect a real-world light source using a sensor mounted on a Head-Mounted Device (HMD); identify a property of the real-world light source; and indicate the property to a rendering engine during execution of an xR application, where the rendering engine is configured to render an image for display by the HMD based on the property.
