The patent US12033355B2 describes a processor system designed to process image data from a camera to render virtual objects within a 3D virtual environment. The system includes a network interface for data exchange, a capture interface for the camera, and a second device interface for connecting to devices such as head-mounted displays or user interaction devices. The processor is responsible for obtaining image data and positional data from the second device, sending this information along with a calibration command to a server system, and receiving calibration data that indicates the poses of both the camera and the second device. This calibration data is then used to generate 3D object data for rendering the virtual object.

Additionally, the patent outlines various configurations and functionalities of both the processor and server systems. The processor can determine the need for calibration or re-calibration based on movements detected in the physical space or the addition of new devices. The server system processes the received image and second device data to generate calibration data, which is sent back to the processor. The system can also monitor data streams to assess the need for re-calibration and derive camera parameters from actual movements. Overall, the patent emphasizes a comprehensive approach to integrating physical and virtual environments through advanced calibration and data processing techniques.
