  • Patent number: 10478717
    Abstract: Augmented reality and physical game techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an indication is received by a computing device of a location of a physical gaming piece of a game. An augmentation is computed based on the indication by the computing device to be displayed as part of the game. The augmentation is displayed by the computing device on a display device that is at least partially transparent such that a physical portion of the game is viewable through the display device concurrently with the augmentation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9759863
    Abstract: A waveguide a core extending along a light propagation and a coupling layer adjacent one side of the core along the light propagation direction. A gradient index material is adjacent to at least one side of the coupling layer. The gradient index material has a first refractive index proximate the coupling layer and a second refractive index away from the coupling layer. The gradient index material is configured to direct light from an input facet to the core layer.

  • Patent number: 8634873
    Abstract: A mobile communication device comprises a first device with a first display and multiple second devices. The second devices are releasably attachable to the first device and are interchangeable with each other. The mobile device can operate as a mobile cell phone with one or more second devices operable as a mobile phone hand set. The second devices can comprise one or more game controllers, batteries, physical keyboards and/or mobile phone handsets with a display. In a detached configuration, the first device is separated from the second devices and can wirelessly communicate with one or more of the detached second devices. In a three device configuration, the first device can send commands, control signals or content to one or more external devices in addition to the second devices.

  • Patent number: 7963644
    Abstract: A printing-fluid container includes a reservoir. An electrical interface is coincident with a first axis and includes a first leading surface or contact pad. A fluidic interface is coincident with a second axis and perpendicular to the first axis. The fluidic interface includes a second leading surface or entry point. The first void is recessed from the first leading surface or contact pad and the second leading surface or first entry point. The first void is coincident with the first axis. A second void is recessed from the first leading surface or contact pad and the second leading surface or second entry point. The second void is coincident with both the first axis and the second axis.

  • Publication number: 20110143769
    Abstract: A dual display mobile device comprises a first device with a first display and a second device with a second display. The mobile device can operate as a mobile cell phone. In a closed configuration of the mobile device, the first display is exposed and the second display is hidden. In an open configuration, both displays are exposed. In a detached configuration, the second device is separated from the first device and the second device can operate as a mobile phone handset. The separated first and second device can communicate wirelessly. The detachable second device allows a user to utilize the full capabilities of the mobile phone without having to remove the second device away from the user's ear, thus preserving the privacy of a phone call. The first and second displays can interact with each other or operate independently in the open, closed or detached configurations.
