  • Patent number: 11989837
    Abstract: A method of spawning a digital island in a three-dimensional environment is disclosed. Data describing a three-dimensional environment is accessed. The data is partitioned into a plurality of contexts based on properties identified in the data, the properties corresponding to surfaces or objects in the three-dimensional environment. One or more values of one or more traits corresponding to a context of the plurality of context are identified. A digital island is matched to the context. The matching includes analyzing one or more conditions associated with the digital island with respect to the one or more values of the one or more traits corresponding to the context. Based on the matching, the spawning of the digital island is performed in the three-dimensional environment for the context.

  • Patent number: 11900528
    Abstract: A method of rendering a view is disclosed. Three occlusion planes associated with an interior cavity of a three-dimensional object included in the view are created. The three occlusion planes are positioned based on a camera position and orientation. Any objects or parts of objects that are in a line of sight between the camera and any one of the three occlusion planes are culled. The view is rendered from the perspective of the camera.

  • Patent number: 11017605
    Abstract: A method of generating a digital island is disclosed. A base shape of a digital island virtual object is created with respect to a local coordinate system of a digital island. Conditions are associated with the digital island. The conditions include criteria for properties of objects within an environment. Additional virtual objects are associated with the digital island. Data describing the environment is received. The data is analyzed to determine one or more parts of the environment that match the conditions. Based on the matching of conditions, a display of the digital island is positioned, scaled, and oriented in a mixed reality display device contemporaneously with a view of the environment. The digital island with is aligned with at least one part of the one or more parts based on the conditions and a movement of one or more sensors and the mixed reality display device.
