  • Publication number: 20220157026
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for authoring and presenting 3D presentations. Generally, an augmented or virtual reality device for each author, presenter and audience member includes 3D presentation software. During authoring mode, one or more authors can use 3D and/or 2D interfaces to generate a 3D presentation that choreographs behaviors of 3D assets into scenes and beats. During presentation mode, the 3D presentation is loaded in each user device, and 3D images of the 3D assets and corresponding asset behaviors are rendered among the user devices in a coordinated manner. As such, one or more presenters can navigate the scenes and beats of the 3D presentation to deliver the 3D presentation to one or more audience members wearing augmented reality headsets.

  • Patent number: 11014242
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for puppeteering in augmented reality. Generally, an augmented or virtual reality device for each user generates a virtual 3D environment comprising a virtual representation of a physical room and a 3D asset. An author can record a 3D path for a puppeteering animation of the 3D asset using a 3D interface. At the same time, a coordinated rendering of a corresponding 3D image moving along the 3D path is updated among author devices substantially in real-time. Distinct states of the 3D asset can be assigned to different portions of the 3D path, and authors can set behavior parameters to assign template behaviors such as obstacle avoidance, particle effects, path visualizations and physical effects. The behavior parameters are distributed among presenter and audience devices, and a coordinated rendering of an animation of the 3D image corresponding to the puppeteering animation is triggered.

  • Patent number: 10824294
    Abstract: Various methods and systems, for implementing three-dimensional resource integration, are provided. 3D resource integration includes integration of 3D resources into different types of functionality, such as, operating system, file explorer, application and augmented reality functionality. In operation, an indication to perform an operation with a 3D object is received. One or more 3D resource controls, associated with the operation, are accessed. The 3D resource control is a defined set of instructions on how to integrate 3D resources with 3D objects for generating 3D-based graphical interfaces associated with application features and operating system features. An input based on one or more control elements of the one or more 3D resource controls is received. The input includes the one or more control elements that operate to generate a 3D-based graphical interface for the operation. Based on receiving the input, the operation is executed with the 3D object and the 3D-based graphical interface.
