Methods and systems for generating virtual reality data that accounts for level of detail

摘要

An exemplary virtual reality provider system accesses surface data representative of a virtual three-dimensional (“3D”) space. Based on the accessed surface data, the system projects a plurality of adjacent surface data slices of the virtual 3D space along an axis in a coordinate system associated with the virtual 3D space. The system selects an image transform operation to be applied to a surface data slice in the plurality of adjacent surface data slices. Specifically, the selected image transform operation is configured to transform the surface data slice to account for level of detail of the surfaces within the virtual 3D space with respect to a particular vantage point. The system also applies the selected image transform operation to the surface data slice to transform the surface data slice to account for the level of detail with respect to the particular vantage point. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
