  • Patent number: 10928974
    Abstract: The methods, systems, techniques, and components described herein may facilitate user interactions with virtual objects in a three-dimensional virtual environment using user input into a graphical interface of a control device that is coupled to a display that may display the three-dimensional virtual environment. The control device may be configured to display a 3D representation of a virtual object having a non-virtual reality representation of the virtual object. The graphical interface of the control device may receive selection information that corresponds to a user selection of the 3D representation of the virtual object. Transformation parameters that provide a basis for rendering a three-dimensional representation of a virtual object in the three-dimensional virtual environment may be obtained to define a transformation of the 3D representation of the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 10832480
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed apparatuses, methods and systems provide manipulation of a virtual world three dimensional (3D) space based on input translated from the real world. Elements in the virtual world may have an associated charge and field. An element in the virtual world becomes interactive with an element translated from the real world when the translated real world element interacts with a field associated with the virtual element according to the charges. Forces may be applied to the virtual element using a real world physics model to determine a response by the virtual element to the applied force.

  • Patent number: 10701247
    Abstract: A system and method to simulate physical objects occluding virtual objects within an interactive space may obtain output signals conveying three-dimensional positions of surfaces of a user object. The three-dimensional positions may be conveyed in a point cloud. Point cloud images may be obtained from the output signals. An individual point cloud image may depict a two-dimensional representation of the point cloud. A current point cloud image may be aggregated with one or more previous aggregate point cloud images to generate a current aggregate point cloud image. A mesh may be generated based on the current aggregate point cloud image. The mesh may include a set of vertices. The mesh may be generated by assigning individual vertices to individual points in the current aggregate point cloud image.

  • Patent number: 10699490
    Abstract: The methods, systems, techniques, and components described herein allow interactions with virtual objects in a virtual environment, such as a Virtual Reality (VR) environment or Augmented Reality (AR) environment, to be modeled accurately. More particularly, the methods, systems, techniques, and components described herein allow interactive virtual frames to be created for virtual objects in a virtual environment. The virtual frames may be built using line primitives that form frame boundaries based on shape boundaries of virtual objects enclosed by the virtual frame. An area of interactivity defined by the virtual frame may allow users to interact with the virtual object in the virtual environment.

  • Patent number: 10586302
    Abstract: Systems and methods to generate an environmental record for an interactive space are presented herein. An environmental record may represent a set of local environments and may define archival location compositions for the local environments. An archival location composition for a local environment may define aspects of the local environment associated with one or more objects and/or surfaces previously determined to be present in the local environment. A headset worn by a user in the local environment may generate a current location composition based on output signals from sensors included in the headset. The archival and current location compositions may be compared to determine updates for the environmental record.
