US Patent:

20200226835, Jul 16, 2020

Filed:

Mar 11, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/298655

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Jenny Kam - Seattle WA, US
Dong Back Kim - Bellevue WA, US
Alton Kwok - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06T 19/00
G06F 3/01

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for selectively controlling a carry mode for holograms presented in mixed-reality environments and for providing leashing buffers for the holograms. The carry mode enables holograms to be functionally moved within a single mixed-reality environment, and out into one or more different mixed-reality environments. The carry mode can be automatically applied to holograms created within the mixed-reality environment. The carry mode can also be applied responsive to user input applied to world-locked holograms, which triggers a switch from the world-locked mode to the carry mode from. Holograms can also be leashed for persistently displaying holograms associated with or linked to a user in the mixed-reality environment to provide the user increased accessibility to the hologram while navigating within and without a particular mixed-reality environment. Selectable options are presented with a hologram in carry mode for switching from the carry mode to the world-locked mode.

Abstract:

The construction of virtual-reality environments is more efficient with adjustable virtual user input devices that accommodate user physical limitations. Adjustable virtual user input devices can be adjusted along pre-established channels, which can be anchored to specific points in virtual space, including a user's position. Adjustable virtual user input devices can be bent in a vertical direction, bent along a horizontal plane, or other like bending, skewing, or warping adjustments. Elements, such as individual keys of a virtual keyboard, can be anchored to specific points on a host virtual user input device, such as the virtual keyboard itself, and can be bent, skewed, or warped in accordance with the adjustment being made to the host virtual user input device. The adjustability of virtual user input devices can be controlled through handles, which can be positioned to appear as if they are protruding from designated extremities of virtual user input devices.
