  • Patent number: 10607413
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to a method of realistic rendering of a real object as a virtual object in a virtual space using an offset in the position of the hand in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space. An offset between expected positions of the eye(s) of a wearer of a head mounted device and a sensor attached to the head mounted device for sensing a position of at least one hand in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space is determined. A position of the hand in the three-dimensional (3D) sensory space can be sensed using a sensor. The sensed position of the hand can be transformed by the offset into a re-rendered position of the hand as would appear to the wearer of the head mounted device if the wearer were looking at the actual hand. The re-rendered hand can be depicted to the wearer of the head mounted device.

  • Publication number: 20200097071
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to a method of realistic simulation of real world interactions as virtual interactions between a control object sensed acting in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and the virtual object in a virtual space that the control object interacts with. In particular, it relates to detecting free-form gestures of a control object in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and generating for display a 3D solid control object model for the control object during the free-form gestures, including sub-components of the control object and in response to detecting a free-form gesture of the control object in the 3D sensory space in virtual contact with the virtual object, depicting, in the generated display, the virtual contact and resulting motions of the virtual object by the 3D solid control object model.

  • Publication number: 20190235636
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to a method of realistic displacement of a virtual object for an interaction between a control object in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and the virtual object in a virtual space that the control object interacts with. In particular, it relates to detecting free-form gestures of a control object in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and generating for display a 3D solid control object model for the control object during the free-form gestures, including sub-components of the control object and in response to detecting a 2D sub-component free-form gesture of the control object in the 3D sensory space in virtual contact with the virtual object, depicting, in the generated display, the virtual contact and resulting rotation of the virtual object by the 3D solid control object model.
