Systems and methods for determining a safety boundary for a mobile artificial reality user

The disclosed method may include (1) sensing, via a depth-sensing subsystem, a plurality of locations in three-dimensional space corresponding to physical surfaces in a real-world environment, (2) determining a dominant plane within the real-world environment, (3) defining a three-dimensional grid t...

More Information
Summary:The disclosed method may include (1) sensing, via a depth-sensing subsystem, a plurality of locations in three-dimensional space corresponding to physical surfaces in a real-world environment, (2) determining a dominant plane within the real-world environment, (3) defining a three-dimensional grid that is aligned with the dominant plane, (4) identifying, based on the plurality of locations relative to the dominant plane, a set of grid coordinates within the three-dimensional grid that are indicative of the physical surfaces, and (5) determining, based on the set of grid coordinates, a safety boundary to be employed by a head-mounted display system to notify a user of the head-mounted display system of the user's proximity to the physical surfaces. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
