Claim One:
1. An augmented reality device, comprising: an optical apparatus, the optical apparatus projects light associated with one or more virtual objects; a light probe, the light probe captures at least one light parameter associated with ambient light; and a processor, the processor selects a light map from a library of preexisting light maps comprising a selected light map, the preexisting light maps having respective pluralities of light parameters, and the selected light map is selected from the library of preexisting light maps based at least in part on the at least one light parameter captured by the light probe, wherein the processor generates a transformed light map from the selected light map and an object light map, the selected light map comprising a user-centric light map modeled as a user-centric sphere, the user-centric sphere being centered on a user, the object light map comprising an object-centric light map modeled as an object-centric sphere, the object-centric sphere surrounding at least one of the one or more virtual objects, the transformed light map being generated by projecting data from the user-centric sphere onto the object-centric sphere from a point of view of the at least one of the one or more virtual objects to create a new light map, and the transformed light map being used by the augmented reality device to modify at least one of the one or more virtual objects.
