Patent attributes
A virtual reality virtual theater system that generates or otherwise displays a virtual theater, for example in which to view videos, such as movies or television. Videos may be for example 2D or 3D movies or television programs. Embodiments create a virtual theater environment with elements that provide a theater-like viewing experience to the user. Virtual theaters may be for example indoor movie theaters, drive-in movie theaters, or home movie theaters. Virtual theater elements may include for example theater fixtures, décor, and audience members; these elements may be selectable or customizable by the user. One or more embodiments also render sound by placing virtual speakers in a virtual theater and projecting sounds from these virtual speakers onto virtual microphones corresponding to the position and orientation of the user's ears. Embodiments may also employ minimal latency processing to improve the theater experience.
