  • Patent number: 11757997
    Abstract: A system for facilitating shared XR experiences is configurable to access a first spatial map of a first physical environment associated with a first user and identify one or more first physical aspects of the first physical environment based on the first spatial map. The system is also configurable to access a second spatial map of a second physical environment associated with a second user and identify one or more second physical aspects of the second physical environment based on the second spatial map. The system is also configurable to define a first XR experience region for the first physical environment based on the second physical aspects of the second physical environment, or define a second XR experience region for the second physical environment based the first physical aspects of the first physical environment.

  • Patent number: 11205301
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing a model file include an occlusion reduction process. The occlusion reduction process includes acts of: (i) identifying points on a mesh section of a model, (ii) casting a set of rays toward the points, (iii) determining a number of rays that reach the points without being occluded by a portion of the model or a portion of another object, (iv) determining occlusion values for the points based on the number of rays that reach the points without being occluded; (v) determining whether the occlusion values for the points satisfy a predetermined occlusion threshold value; (vi) removing the mesh section from the model in response to determining that the occlusion values satisfy the predetermined occlusion threshold value, and (vii) refraining from removing the mesh section from the model in response to determining that the occlusion values fail to satisfy the predetermined occlusion threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11100724
    Abstract: A method of providing virtual reality (VR) content can include the acts of, at a server: obtaining a 3D image file, creating a plurality of VR models or scene files from the 3D image for each VR rendering platform included in a list of VR rendering platforms, storing each VR model or scene file within a data store, receiving a request for an VR model or scene file as a result of a universal link being selected at an end user device, wherein the universal link points to an endpoint at the server that comprises logic to determine which of the plurality of stored VR models or scene files to provide to an entity accessing the universal link, determining an VR rendering platform associated with the end user device, and determining a particular VR model or scene file matching the VR rendering platform.

  • Patent number: 11094140
    Abstract: A system for facilitating cross-platform extended reality content sharing is configurable to receive a model file that includes a model, create a plurality of extended reality (XR) model or scene files based on the model file, create a universal link, and send the universal link to a developer system. Each of the plurality of XR model or scene files is formatted for rendering a representation of the model on a different, particular XR rendering platform included in a list of XR rendering platforms. The universal link is operable to configure an end user device to send a request for an XR model or scene file. The universal link points to an endpoint that comprises logic operable to determine, based on the request, a particular XR model or scene file that is formatted for rendering a representation of the model using an XR rendering platform associated with the end user device.

  • Patent number: 10839615
    Abstract: A method of providing augmented reality (AR) content can include the acts of, at a server: obtaining a 3D image file, creating a plurality of AR models or scene files from the 3D image for each AR rendering platform included in a list of AR rendering platforms, storing each AR model or scene file within a data store, receiving a request for an AR model or scene file as a result of a universal link being selected at an end user device, wherein the universal link points to an endpoint at the server that comprises logic to determine which of the plurality of stored AR models or scene files to provide to an entity accessing the universal link, determining an AR rendering platform associated with the end user device, and determining a particular AR model or scene file matching the AR rendering platform.
