Publication number: 20220157026Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Darren Alexander BENNETT, David J.W. SEYMOUR, Charla M. PEREIRA, Enrico William GULD, Kin Hang CHU, Julia Faye TAYLOR-HELL, Jonathon Burnham COBB, Helen Joan Hem LAM, You-Da YANG, Dean Alan WADSWORTH, Andrew Jackson KLEIN

Patent number: 10824294Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Enrico William Guld, Jason A. Carter, Heather Joanne Alekson, Andrew Jackson Klein, David J. W. Seymour, Kathleen P. Mulcahy, Charla M. Pereira, Evan Lewis Jones, William Axel Olsen, Adam Roy Mitchell, Daniel Lee Osborn, Zachary D.

Publication number: 20140325565Abstract: A client system obtains video content data from a remote system and obtains or determines corresponding video time data. Additionally, the client system obtains contextual content data and corresponding contextual time data from a remote system. The client system identifies portions of the contextual content data that are temporally related to portions of the video content data based on the contextual time data and the video time data. Further, the client system displays a portion of the video content data on the display device. Additionally, based on results of the identifying, while displaying the portion of the video content data on the display device, the client system also displays, alongside the portion of the video content data, a portion of the contextual content data that is relevant to the portion of the video content data being displayed on the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Preetinderpal Singh Mangat, Peter Duyen Hung Hoang, Daniel Frank, Shannon Yen Yun Lee, Joshua Trusz, Sang Young Park, Daniel Daigle, Helen Joan Hem Lam, William Michael Mozell, David Seymour, Michael James Perzel, Jiageng Tian
