  • Patent number: 11941769
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for auto-generating an artificial reality environment based on access to personal user content are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive consent from a user to access user content on a user device, the user content comprising digital media; generate a user profile based at least in part on the user content; determine user preferences based at least in part on the user profile; generate an artificial reality environment based at least in part on the user preferences; and share the artificial reality environment with contacts of the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240053818
    Abstract: A method for switching a configuration of an enhanced reality headset is provided. The method includes identifying a scenario to switch a configuration of an enhanced reality headset between a virtual reality configuration, an augmented reality configuration, and a direct reality configuration, wherein the virtual reality configuration and the augmented reality configuration include a computer generated image, and the direct reality configuration and the augmented reality configuration include a real-time image of an environment of a user of the enhanced reality headset. The method includes providing a notification to a user of the enhanced reality headset including an intent to switch the configuration of the enhanced reality headset, and switching the configuration of the enhanced reality headset according to the scenario.

  • Patent number: 11682178
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for changing perception of artificial reality content in a shared artificial reality environment. Various aspects may include determining user perception preferences associated with a user representation in the environment. Aspects may also include generating coordinates of a coordinate system and determining a distance between coordinates. Aspects may also include changing a perception parameter corresponding to the user representation based on the determined distances. Aspects may also include determining a visual style of the user representation based on an associated selected artificial reality application. Aspects may include providing instructions to display a virtual area including the user representation according to determined visual style and changed perception parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230117304
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for changing user representations in an artificial reality environment are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive an indication of a user representation in a virtual area of the artificial reality environment; receive an indication of a user impairment; determine a characteristic of the user representation that corresponds to the user impairment; determine a plurality of alternative user representations corresponding to the characteristic of the user representation; select an alternative user representation of the plurality of alternative user representations based on determining an impairment level of the user impairment; and output the alternative user representation in the artificial reality environment.
