  • Patent number: 10819952
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to virtual reality telepresence. In some implementations, a method includes performing projection mapping of a projection area. The method further includes collecting user information associated with a user. The method further includes positioning the user in a virtual environment based on the projection mapping and the user information. The method further includes determining a point of view of the user in the virtual environment. The method further includes projecting the virtual environment onto the projection area based on the point of view of the user.

  • Patent number: 10705702
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device for enabling a plurality of content to be efficiently used on the same screen, the information processing device including: a manipulation detection unit configured to detect a manipulation by a user; and a control unit configured to control display on a screen according to the detection of the manipulation detection unit. The control unit performs control to cause, when the manipulation detection unit detects a manipulation for bringing at least two pieces of content displayed on the screen into contact with each other under control by the control unit, the at least two pieces of content to be displayed in alignment.

  • Patent number: 10650037
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to enhancing information in a three-dimensional map (3D). In some implementations, a method includes determining, using a client device, user information associated with a user. The method further includes generating a 3D map of a physical environment based on the user information. The method further includes determining relevant information based on the user information. The method further includes displaying the relevant information in the 3D map in a user interface of the client device.

  • Patent number: 9955120
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to virtual reality telepresence. In some implementations, a method includes positioning a first user in a virtual environment, and determining a first point of view associated with the first user. The method further includes positioning a second user in the virtual environment, and determining a second point of view associated with the second user. The method further includes projecting one or more of the first user and the second user in the virtual environment based on a first positioning of the first user and a second positioning of the second user and based on the first point of view and the second point of view.
