  • Patent number: 10466871
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for customizing tabs in a browser window by facilitating visual modifications to the tabs. An indication of a user interaction with a tab, such as a hover or selection input, is received. Based on receiving this indication of a user interaction, one or more options from which a user may select to modify or add content to the tab are provided for display. These options may include, for instance, colors, icons, text modifications, objects, etc. A user selection is received from the one or more options. Based on the user selection, the tab is visually altered.

  • Patent number: 9245387
    Abstract: Methods for positioning virtual objects within an augmented reality environment using snap grid spaces associated with real-world environments, real-world objects, and/or virtual objects within the augmented reality environment are described. A snap grid space may comprise a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual space within an augmented reality environment in which one or more virtual objects may be positioned. In some embodiments, a head-mounted display device (HMD) may identify one or more grid spaces within an augmented reality environment, detect a positioning of a virtual object within the augmented reality environment, determine a target grid space of the one or more grid spaces in which to position the virtual object, determine a position of the virtual object within the target grid space, and display the virtual object within the augmented reality environment based on the position of the virtual object within the target grid space.
