Patent number: 11341676Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for calibration-free instant motion tracking useful, for example, for rending virtual content in augmented reality settings. In particular, a computing system can iteratively augment image frames that depict a scene to insert virtual content at an anchor region within the scene, including situations in which the anchor region moves relative to the scene. To do so, the computing system can estimate, for each of a number of sequential image frames: a rotation of an image capture system that captures the image frames; and a translation of the anchor region relative to an image capture system, thereby providing sufficient information to determine where and at what orientation to render the virtual content within the image frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Jianing Wei, Matthias Grundmann

Patent number: 11301041Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for modifying Augmented Reality (AR) device user interfaces to improve accessibility for individuals with tremors in their hands and/or fingers. A historical data set of finger movements is generated using circuitry printed onto fingernails of an individual. The historical data set is used to determine patterns for tremors in the fingers and hands of the individual. These patterns are then used to modify interactive elements of a user interface displayed by an AR device operated by the individual according to their individual pattern. Modifications to the interactive elements include modifying depth of the interactive elements to prevent unintended activation of the interactive elements through gesture-based controls resulting from the tremors.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Subha Kiran Patnaikuni, Sarbajit K.
