  • Patent number: 10788673
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for displaying virtual content. When a user is settled in a given geographic area, a full version of the content may be displayed at user-defined or processor-defined location. When the user is moving, for example leaving the geographic area, a mobile version of the content may be displayed at a body-locked position peripheral to the user's view.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10529359
    Abstract: Various embodiments relating to detecting a conversation during presentation of content on a computing device, and taking one or more actions in response to detecting the conversation, are disclosed. In one example, an audio data stream is received from one or more sensors, a conversation between a first user and a second user is detected based on the audio data stream, and presentation of a digital content item is modified by the computing device in response to detecting the conversation.

  • Patent number: 10008044
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that relate to operating a user interface on an augmented reality computing device comprising a display system. For example, one disclosed embodiment includes displaying a virtual object via the display system as free-floating, detecting a trigger to display the object as attached to a surface, and, in response to the trigger, displaying the virtual object as attached to the surface via the display system. The method may further include detecting a trigger to detach the virtual object from the surface and, in response to the trigger to detach the virtual object from the surface, detaching the virtual object from the surface and displaying the virtual object as free-floating.

  • Patent number: 9846968
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for capturing views of a mixed reality environment from various perspectives which can be displayed on a monitor. The system includes one or more physical cameras at user-defined positions within the mixed reality environment. The system renders virtual objects in the mixed reality environment from the perspective of the one or more cameras. Real and virtual objects from the mixed reality environment may then be displayed from the perspective of the one or more cameras on one or more external, 2D monitor for viewing by others.

  • Publication number: 20120246738
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards resource sharing and/or isolation in a role based access (RBA) system. A resource may be associated with an owner, via an owner property, which provides isolation by enforcing exclusive access to that resource by the owner (unless the owner chooses to share). Sharing is provided by allowing the owner to identify, in a GrantedTo list, selected receiving user(s) or user role(s) that can have shared access. Also described is administrator-level control over the ability to share resources and/or receive shared resources, e.g., an administrator selects whether a resource owner is permitted to share resources and/or whether receiving users/user roles are permitted to receive shared resources.
