Patent number: 11983823Abstract: Examples of wearable systems and methods can use multiple inputs (e.g., gesture, head pose, eye gaze, voice, totem, and/or environmental factors (e.g., location)) to determine a command that should be executed and objects in the three-dimensional (3D) environment that should be operated on. The wearable system can detect when different inputs converge together, such as when a user seeks to select a virtual object using multiple inputs such as eye gaze, head pose, hand gesture, and totem input. Upon detecting an input convergence, the wearable system can perform a transmodal filtering scheme that leverages the converged inputs to assist in properly interpreting what command the user is providing or what object the user is targeting.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Paul Lacey, Samuel A. Miller, Nicholas Atkinson Kramer, David Charles Lundmark
