Patent number: 11803055Abstract: Method and devices for creating a sedentary virtual-reality system are provided. A user interface is provided that allows for the intuitive navigation of the sedentary virtual-reality system based on the position of the users head. The sedentary virtual-reality system can render a desktop computing environment. The user can switch the virtual-reality system into an augmented reality viewing mode or a real-world viewing mode that allow the user to control and manipulate the rendered sedentary environment. The modes can also change to allow the user greater situational awareness and a longer duration of use.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Connectivity Labs Inc.Inventors: Rocky Chau-Hsiung Lin, Koichiro Kanda, Thomas Yamasaki
