Patent number: 10754496Abstract: Examples are disclosed herein that relate to receiving virtual reality input. An example provides a head-mounted display device comprising a sensor system, a display, a logic machine, and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine. The instructions are executable to execute a 3D virtual reality experience on the head-mounted display device, track, via the sensor system, a touch-sensitive input device, render, on the display, in a 3D location in the 3D virtual reality experience based on the tracking of the touch-sensitive input device, a user interface, receive, via a touch sensor of the touch-sensitive input device, a user input, and, in response to receiving the user input, control the 3D virtual reality experience to thereby vary visual content being rendered on the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kenneth Liam Kiemele, Michael Robert Thomas, Alexandre Da Veiga, Christian Michael Sadak, Bryant Daniel Hawthorne, Aaron D. Krauss, Aaron Mackay Burns

Patent number: 10564915Abstract: A computing system is provided, including a plurality of display devices including at least a first display device and a second display device. The computing system may further include one or more sensors configured to detect a first positional state of the first display device relative to the second display device and at least one user. The first positional state may include an angular orientation of the first display device relative to the second display device. The computing system may further include a processor configured to receive the first positional state from the one or more sensors. The processor may be further configured to generate first graphical content based at least in part on the first positional state. The processor may be further configured to transmit the first graphical content for display at the first display device.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Aaron D. Krauss, Jamie R. Cabaccang, Jennifer J. Choi, Michelle Tze Hiang Chua, Priya Ganadas, Donna Katherine Long, Kenneth Liam Kiemele

Publication number: 20190212877Abstract: A computing device is provided that includes a primary display and a secondary display operatively coupled to a processor. The processor may be configured to execute an application program that has a GUI with a single display mode and a selectively displayable multiple display mode. The multiple display mode may include at least a primary view and a secondary view. In a single display mode, the processor may be configured to initially display the GUI on the primary display and not display the GUI on the secondary display. Upon receiving a multidisplay command to display the GUI in the multiple display mode, the processor may transition the application to the multiple display mode in which the primary view is displayed on the primary display, and the secondary view is displayed on the secondary display.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2018Publication date: July 11, 2019Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeffrey SIPKO, Christian M. SADAK, Aaron D. KRAUSS, John Benjamin HESKETH, Timothy D. KVIZ

Publication number: 20180329521Abstract: To address the issues of presentation display, a mobile computing device is provided. The mobile computing device may include a two-part housing coupled by a hinge, with first and second parts that include first and second displays, respectively. The displays may rotate around the hinge throughout a plurality of angular orientations. The mobile computing device may include an angle sensor, one or more inertial measurement units, and a processor mounted in the housing. The angle sensor may detect a relative angular orientation of the first and second displays, and the inertial measurement unit may measure a spatial orientation of the device, which together define a posture of the device. The processor may be configured to execute an application program and, based on the posture of the device, select a display mode of the application program that defines a layout of graphical user interface elements displayed on the displays.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2017Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Benjamin HESKETH, Mario Emmanuel MALTEZOS, Kenneth Liam KIEMELE, Aaron D.
