Patent number: 11164377Abstract: Methods and systems of navigating within a virtual environment are described. In an example, a processor may generate a portal that includes a set of portal boundaries. The processor may display the portal within a first scene of the virtual environment being displayed on a device. The processor may display a second scene of the virtual environment within the portal boundaries. The processor may receive sensor data indicating a movement of a motion controller. The processor may reposition the portal and the second scene in the first scene based on the sensor data, wherein the first scene remains stationary on the device during the reposition of the portal and the second scene. The processor may translate a location of the portal within the first scene to move the portal towards a user of the device until the second scene replaces the first scene being displayed on the device.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aldis Sipolins, Lawrence A.

Patent number: 10986087Abstract: A method for authenticating a user is presented. Responsive to a request for access to a computer resource, a computer system prompts the user making the request to access the computer resource to perform a new motion in an environment in which the user is monitored by a sensor system. Detected biometric data in the new motion performed by the user is identified by the computer system. A determination is made as to whether the user performing the new motion is an authenticated user based on comparing the detected biometric data with stored biometric data for a prior motion performed by the authenticated user. The computer system provides access to the computer resource when the user is identified as the authenticated user.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick Watson, Tengfei Ma, Maria Chang, Jae-Wook Ahn, Ravi Tejwani, Aldis Sipolins
