Abstract: Input indicative of a selection of volumetric content for presentation is received. The volumetric content comprises a volumetric representation of one or more elements of a real-world three-dimensional space. In response to the input, device state data associated with the volumetric content is accessed. The device state data describes a state of one or more network-connected devices associated with the real-world three-dimensional space. The volumetric content is presented. The presentation of the volumetric content includes presentation of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on the real-world three-dimensional space by a display device and configuring the one or more network-connected devices using the device state data.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a touch-based augmented reality (AR) experience. During a capture phase, a first user may grip an object. An intensity of a force applied on the object in the grip and/or a duration of the grip may be recorded. A volumetric representation of the first user holding the object may also be captured. During an experience phase, a second user may touch the object, the object may provide haptic feedback (e.g., a vibration) to the second user at an intensity and a duration corresponding to an intensity of the force applied on the object and a duration of the grip of the object. If a volumetric representation of the first user holding the object is captured, touching the object may also cause a presentation of the first user's volumetric body that holds the object.

Abstract: A volumetric content presentation system includes a head-worn display device, which includes one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the display device to access AR content items that correspond to either real-world objects or virtual objects, mix and match these AR content items, and present volumetric content that includes these mixed and matched AR content items overlaid on a real-world environment to create a new AR scene that a user can experience.

Abstract: A system monitors a user environment via one or more sensors included in a computing device and detects, via a trigger, that event data is stored in a data store based on the monitoring. The system further detects one or more participants in the event data and invites the one or more participants to share an augmented reality event data and/or to a virtual reality event data. The system also creates, based on the event data, an augmented reality event data and/or a virtual reality event data, and presents the augmented reality event data and/or the virtual reality event data to the one or more participants in a synchronous mode and/or in an asynchronous mode, via the computing device.

Abstract: A display device presents volumetric content comprising a volumetric video. The volumetric video comprises a volumetric representation of one or more elements a three-dimensional space. Input indicative of a control operation associated with the presentation of the volumetric video is received. The presentation of the volumetric video by the display device is controlled by executing the control operation. While the control operation is being executed, the volumetric representation of the one or more elements of the three-dimensional space are displayed from multiple perspectives based on movement of a user.

Abstract: A system monitors an environment via one or more sensors included in a computing device and applies a trigger to detect that a memory experience is stored in a data store based on the monitoring. The system creates an augmented reality memory experience, a virtual reality memory experience, or a combination thereof, based on the trigger if the memory experience is detected. The system additionally projects the augmented reality memory experience, the virtual reality memory experience, or the combination thereof, via the computing device.

Abstract: A system captures via one or more sensors of a computing device, data of an environment observed by the one or more sensors at a first timeslot, and stores the data in a data store as a first portion of a timelapse memory experience. The system also captures, via the one or more sensors of a computing device, data of the environment observed by the one or more sensors at a second timeslot, and stores the data in a data store as a second portion of the timelapse memory experience. The system additionally associates the timelapse memory experience with a memory experience trigger, wherein the memory experience trigger can initiate a presentation of the timelapse memory experience.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a presentation of an experience (e.g., a journey) to a user using augmented reality (AR). During a capture phase, persons in the journey may take videos or pictures using their smartphones, GoPros, and/or smart glasses. A drone may also take videos or pictures during the journey. During an experience phase, an AR topographical rendering of the real-world environment of the journey may be rendered on a tabletop, highlighting/animating a path persons took in the journey. The persons may be rendered as miniature avatars/dolls overlaid on the representation of the real-world environment. When the user clicks on a point in the presentation of the journey, a perspective (e.g., the videos or pictures) at that point is presented.

Abstract: A two-dimensional element is identified from one or more two-dimensional images. A volumetric content item is generated based on the two-dimensional element identified from the one or more two-dimensional images. A display device presents the volumetric content item overlaid on a real-world environment that is within a field of view of a user of the display device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a multi-perspective augmented reality experience. A volumetric video of a three-dimensional space is captured. The volumetric video of the three-dimensional space includes a volumetric representation of a first user within the three-dimensional space. The volumetric video is displayed by a display device worn by a second user, and the second user sees the volumetric representation of the first user within the three-dimensional space. Input indicative of an interaction (e.g., entering or leaving) of the second user with the volumetric representation of the first user is detected. Based on detecting the input indicative of the interaction, the display device switches to a display of a recorded perspective of the first user. Thus, by interacting with a volumetric representation of the first user in a volumetric video, the second user views the first user's perspective of the three-dimensional space.

Abstract: Disclosed is a positioner for transmitting movement in up to six degrees-of-freedom to an object on the positioner, the positioner comprising a base plate, a first plate mounted on the base plate by a first mechanical linkage, a first actuator arrangement for moving the first plate, a second plate mounted on the first plate by a second mechanical linkage, a second actuator arrangement for moving the second plate, and a holder attached to the second plate for mounting the object. One of the first and second plates is movable in a plane in up to three degrees-of-freedom, and the other of the first and second plates is movable in up to three degrees-of-freedom that are out of the plane. It is also possible to add an additional plate, including an actuator arrangement for moving the additional plate, mounted by a mechanical linkage between the second plate and the holder.
