  • Patent number: 11954248
    Abstract: A display pose of a client computing device is computed in a hybrid manner using both the client computing device and a server. Using the client computing device, an initial pose of the client computing device at an initial time is computed. A prospective pose at a target time is predicted using the client computing device. The prospective pose is sent along with auxiliary data from the client computing device to the server and a display pose of the client computing device at a display time is computed. The display pose is computed using the prospective pose and the auxiliary data.

  • Patent number: 10379606
    Abstract: A computing device is provided, including a display configured to display a plurality of holograms superimposed upon a physical environment. The computing device may further comprise a processor configured to store in non-volatile memory a representation of the physical environment, including a plurality of hologram anchors indicating locations at which the holograms are displayed. The processor may store a priority level of each hologram anchor, wherein each priority level is selected from a plurality of priority levels including a high priority level and a low priority level, and wherein at least one hologram anchor has the low priority level. The processor may determine that a total size of the plurality of hologram anchors exceeds a predetermined size threshold. The processor may, for at least one hologram anchor assigned the low priority level, delete that hologram anchor from the representation of the physical environment.
