  • Publication number: 20240126406
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality system orchestrating interactions between virtual object “augments.” The orchestration can include linking, which can be forming two or more augments into a combination, embedding an augment within an existing combination, or triggering an action mapped to the linking of those augments. Another type of orchestration can include extracting, which can refer to taking an augment out of an existing combination, either by removing it from the combination or copying the augment to leave a version in the combination and having another version outside the combination.

  • Patent number: 11941725
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by an operating system of a first artificial-reality device, receiving a notification that virtual objects are shared with the first artificial-reality device by a second artificial-reality device, where the virtual objects are shared by being placed inside a sender-side shared space anchored to a physical object. The method further includes the first artificial-reality device accessing descriptors of a physical object and a spatial-relationship definition between the physical object and a receiver-side shared space, detecting physical objects based on the descriptors, determining pose of the receiver-side shared space, detecting physical constraints within the receiver-side shares space, receiving display instructions for the virtual objects, and rendering the virtual objects on the first artificial-reality device in the receiver-side shared space.

  • Publication number: 20230419298
    Abstract: Systems and methods for securely generating and printing documents are disclosed. For example, processor(s) of a computer system may receive information for the document from a computing device through a network, verify the information for the document, and upon verification, generate document generation data using at least a portion of the information for the document. The document generation data may include document metadata that enables generation of an image of the document and/or the image of the document. Upon the processor(s) verifying first authentication information of a first code associated with a printing device received from the computing device through the network and second authentication information of a second code associated with the computing device received from the printing device through the network, the processor(s) may transmit the document generation data to the printing device through the network, and cause the printing device to print the image of the document.

  • Patent number: 11762952
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality (XR) application system controlling applications in an artificial reality environment. In various cases, these controls include automatically suggesting XR applications by determining an XR context and identifying applications that match the XR context. These applications can be suggested to a user, who can authorize their execution, setting permissions for the application. In some cases, applications can be divided into components which can be progressively downloaded. By providing application suggestions relevant to the current context and progressively downloading application components, applications can appear ambient, rather than relying on users to constantly download, install, or activate applications. Permissions for applications may be revoked permanently or for certain situations—either through user permissions selections or automatically in response to determined user intents.

  • Publication number: 20230221797
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes instructing sensors on an AR headset to capture data of a real-world environment, discovering a 3D location where a native application configured to run natively on an operating system is downloadable, generating and displaying a virtual object representing the native application at the 3D location, detecting a user of the AR system interacting with the virtual object, downloading a first executable portion of the native application, executing the first executable portion within a sandbox process having a predetermined set of access permissions, progressively downloading a remaining executable portion of the native application while the user is interacting with the executed first executable portion, and in response to a determination that the native application is completely downloaded, installing the native application on the operating system.

  • Publication number: 20230134355
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first image corresponding to a first frame of a video stream, rendering a first area of a second image corresponding to a second frame of the video stream, generating a second area of the second image corresponding to the second frame of the video stream by re-projecting the second area of the first image according to one or more warping parameters, and constructing the second image corresponding to the second frame by compositing the rendered first area and the generated second area of the second image. In another embodiment, a method includes an operating system receiving a set of data associated with an object from a first application, storing the set of data on the operating system, receiving a command to share the object with a second application, and allowing the second application to access the portion of the data associated with the object that it needs.

  • Publication number: 20220291808
    Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating functionality of XR devices and non-XR devices are disclosed herein. An XR device can identify and obtain one or more content items being displayed on non-XR devices and create virtual objects associated with the content item in an artificial reality environment of the XR device. A user of the XR device can interact with the virtual objects, such as by moving the virtual objects to new locations within the artificial reality environment or interact with the virtual objects to view the content items. The user of the XR device can also provide one or more gestures or commands to send content items or identifiers of content items associated with the virtual objects to non-XR devices for display at the non-XR devices.

  • Patent number: 11408013
    Abstract: This invention relates to metabolically engineered microorganism strains, such as bacterial strains, in which there is an increased utilization of malonyl-CoA for production of a fatty acid or fatty acid derived product, wherein the modified microorganism produces fatty acyl-CoA intermediates via a malonyl-CoA dependent but malonyl-ACP independent mechanism.
