Patent number: 11899833Abstract: To interact with and manipulate a virtual object associated with an AR experience displayed on the screen of a user device (e.g., a smartphone), the user must first learn or discover the particular gestures that correspond with a given function, but such gestures may not always be intuitive. The user may find it difficult or bothersome to learn/remember the specific gesture(s) needed to achieve a specific result. Moreover, there are only a limited number of gestures that can be performed using the screen of the device, often leading to gestural conflict. In some embodiments, a dual-interface AR system may be implemented to provide an AR experience for a user. The dual-interface AR system utilizes two user interfaces and distributes the input gestures between them, allowing the user to dynamically switch between the two and to use the interface that may be most intuitive to the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Inventor: Brennan Letkeman
