"pasted-on look of virtual objects where highlights/ shadows baked-in, but fix requires complex 360-degree cameras/ expensive sensors mapping room's light... solved: from single 2D image of environment infer dominant light direction/ intensity from way light hits real object, then deconstruct virtual object’s original lighting/ relight real-time to match room... 17.0% improved fidelity, hardware independent... slim smart glasses... globally consistent with target illumination/ locally faithful to observed scene"
