  • Human-computer interface for computationally efficient placement and sizing of virtual objects in a three-dimensional representation of a real-world environment
    Patent number: 11023093
    Abstract: An improved human-computer interface for placing and sizing virtual objects in a three-dimensional (“3D”) representation of a real-world environment is disclosed herein. The disclosed HCI can determine a location, size, and orientation of virtual objects in a 3D representation of a real-world environment based on simplified user gestures. In some embodiments, based on the timing and direction of an input gesture, a computing device can utilize (1) an automated mode that determines a position and orientation of a virtual object or utilize (2) a manual mode that determines position, orientation, and size of the virtual object. A computing device capable of 3D spatial mapping generates mesh data defining a 3D representation of a real-world environment and images of the real-world environment. The size of the virtual object can be based on a computed depth of real-world objects related to the virtual object.
