Abstract

Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise a vision system having one or more optical elements to project one or more images to a user, a mapping database comprising map data corresponding to one or more real objects of the world, wherein the mapping database receives inputs from at least a component of one or more wearable augmented reality display systems, and a processor communicatively coupled to the mapping database for retrieving the map data and processing the retrieved map data to determine one or more output parameters, wherein the processor further controls the vision system in a manner such that the one or more images are projected to the user based at least in part on the determined output parameters.
