Patent number: 11978381Abstract: A system and method for control of user interfaces on electronic and/or computerized devices. The system and method display images, both still and video images, in an orientation-agnostic manner that is independent of a physical orientation of the display screen. This provides an interesting visual display effect whereby the image appears to remain in a fixed orientation (e.g., upright) relative to three-dimensional space, untethered to any position or orientation of the display screen and/or device, while the display screen and/or device is changed in position and/or orientation, such that the portion of the viewed image changes according to the dimensions and orientation of the screen relative to an apparent fixed orientation and/or position of the underlying image. Such a system and method for control of user interfaces provides for more efficient use of a display screen having a relatively limited size, as is common for smartphones and tablet computers.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: OVERPLAY GAMES, INC.Inventor: Daniel Projansky

Patent number: 11960661Abstract: The invention relates generally to a user interaction system having a head unit for a user to wear and a totem that the user holds in their hand and determines the location of a virtual object that is seen by the user. A fusion routine generates a fused location of the totem in a world frame based on a combination of an EM wave and a totem IMU data. The fused pose may drift over time due to the sensor's model mismatch. An unfused pose determination modeler routinely establishes an unfused pose of the totem relative to the world frame. A drift is declared when a difference between the fused pose and the unfused pose is more than a predetermined maximum distance.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventor: Sheng Wan
