Patent number: 10950034Abstract: In one embodiment for generating passthrough, a computing system may compute, based on an image of a physical environment, depth measurements of at least one physical object. The system may generate a first model of the physical object using the depth measurements. The system may identify first pixels in the image that depict the physical object and associate them with a first representative depth value computed using the first model. The system may determine, for a pixel of an output image, that a portion of the first model and a portion of a second model of a virtual object are visible. The system may determine that the portion of the first model is associated with the plurality of first pixels and determine occlusion at the pixel based on a comparison between the first representative depth value and a depth value associated with the portion of the second model.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Alberto Garcia Garcia, Gioacchino Noris, Gian Diego Tipaldi

Patent number: 10948997Abstract: An artificial reality system can display notifications in various configurations including in a minimized version or a maximized version. The artificial reality system can initially display a minimized version of the notification. Upon identifying a first trigger event, such as the user's gaze resting on the minimized version of the notification or a rotation of a user's wrist, the artificial reality system can change the display of the notification from the minimized version to the maximized version. The artificial reality system can identify a second trigger event, such as the user's gaze not being directed to the maximized version of the notification or a rotation of the wrist in an opposite direction from the first wrist rotation. In response to the second trigger event, the artificial reality system can stop display of the maximized version of the notification.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Anastasia Victor-Faichney, Alexander Chen Runke, Difei Wang, Flavio Mattos de Carvalho

Patent number: 10950055Abstract: A rhythm-based video game (“game”) is disclosed. In the game, a player slashes blocks representing musical beats using a pair of energy blades resembling a lightsaber. A gaming console renders multiple digital objects, e.g., digital blocks, digital mines and digital obstacles, that are approaching a player in a virtual space. The gaming console also renders a digital representation of an instrument, e.g., a lightsaber (“digital saber”), using which the player slashes, cuts or otherwise interacts with the digital blocks to cause a digital collision between the digital saber and the digital blocks. The player can score by slashing the digital blocks, not hitting the digital mines and avoiding the digital obstacles. The game presents the player with a stream of approaching digital objects in synchronization with music, e.g., a song's beats, being played in the game. The pace at which the digital blocks approach the player increases with the beats.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Vladimír Hrin{hacek over (c)}ár, Ján Ilavský
