Publication number: 20240104792Abstract: Embodiments are directed to aspects of the extended reality environments that are selected or otherwise modified to account for distracting stimuli. Similarly, one or more metrics that reflect, or are otherwise indicative of, a user's ability to focus on a current or upcoming activity may be used to adjust a user's interaction with the extended reality environment. The extended reality environment can generated by an extended reality system that includes a head-mounted display, a set of sensors and a processor configured to enter a focus mode that reduces distraction in an extended reality environment. While in the focus mode, the process or can receive imaging data of a physical environment around a user using the set of sensors and generate the extended reality environment that includes a reproduction of the first region of the physical environment where an identified object is replaced with the additional content.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Grant H. Mulliken, Anura A. Patil, Brian Pasley, Christine Godwin, Eve Ekman, Jonathan Hadida, Lauren Cheung, Mary A. Pyc, Patrick O. Eronini, Raphael A. Bernier, Steven A. Marchette, Fletcher Rothkopf
