  • Patent number: 11164362
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating virtual reality user interfaces are described. The virtual reality user interface may include a three-dimensional model that simulates an actual environment. In addition, the virtual reality user interface may include a plurality of cells arranged at a simulated depth and with a simulated curvature. Further, the plurality of cells may be divided into a plurality of subcells. The subcells may be sized based at least in part on aspect ratios of images to be included in each of the subcells. Moreover, supplemental cells may be provided around or within the plurality of cells and subcells, each of the supplemental cells representing a collection of items. The variable sizing of the subcells as well as the incorporation of supplemental cells around or within the plurality of cells and subcells may result in a virtual reality user interface with higher user interest and engagement.

  • Patent number: 10839614
    Abstract: Systems and methods to rapidly create, view, and modify three-dimensional experiences may include a two-dimensional content editing device and application and a three-dimensional experience viewing device and application. Using the two-dimensional content editing application, two-dimensional objects may be created, and properties of the two-dimensional objects may be defined. Using the three-dimensional experience viewing application, the two-dimensional objects may be rendered within a three-dimensional environment based on the defined properties. In this manner, three-dimensional experiences may be quickly created, viewed, modified, reviewed, and published without the need for specialized tools, training, or experience in three-dimensional modeling or programming.
