  • Patent number: 11436806
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to render a Live Avatar View third-person view as an overlay of a first person Spectator View, as mirrored from a Virtual Reality headset, in a Dual Perspective View. In some embodiments, a clinician tablet may display Dual Perspective View with a full screen Spectator View, to maximize visibility, and render a translucent avatar from Live Avatar View (LAV) to overlay the Spectator View for simultaneous visibility during a therapy session. Spectator View may be critical to monitor for therapy guidance and an LAV conveys valuable movement and safety data. A translucent avatar overlay and activity cues allows monitoring the avatar from Live Avatar View in a way that would not block the Spectator View or occlude other body parts potentially hidden.

  • Patent number: 11367410
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a cursor and a focus indicator associated with real or virtual objects in a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environment by a wearable display device are disclosed. The system can determine a spatial relationship between a user-movable cursor and a target object within the environment. The system may render a focus indicator (e.g., a halo, shading, or highlighting) around or adjacent objects that are near the cursor. The focus indicator may be emphasized in directions closer to the cursor and deemphasized in directions farther from the cursor. When the cursor overlaps with a target object, the system can render the object in front of the cursor (or not render the cursor at all), so the object is not occluded by the cursor. The cursor and focus indicator can provide the user with positional feedback and help the user navigate among objects in the environment.

  • Patent number: 11367234
    Abstract: A server machine modifies an augmented reality (AR) object in response to fulfillment of a condition. The machine provides, to a user device, object data that defines the AR object. The object data specifies a physical geolocation of the AR object, a presentation attribute of the AR object, a conditional modification program, and a trigger condition for execution of the conditional modification program. The object data causes the user device to present the AR object with a first appearance, located at the physical geolocation. The machine detects fulfillment of the trigger condition, and in response, the machine executes the conditional modification program. This modifies the object data by modifying the presentation attribute. The machine provides, to the user device, the modified object data, which causes the user device to present the AR object with a second appearance based on the modified presentation attribute.
