Patent number: 12131338Abstract: A system and method for identifying and authenticating a physical article to a virtual environment. A physical article, such as a decorative pin used in gameplay or some purchased article with anti-counterfeiting tag information, may be scanned by a mobile device and verified by a mobile device application. Such a process may uniquely identify a product as being associated with one particular customer, which may limit counterfeiting and may also allow the article to be incorporated in some form into a game or other virtual environment, such as in the form of an accessory for a game character.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignees: thatgamecompany, Inc., ThatMemory LLCInventors: Jenova Xinghan Chen, Amy Li Gussin, Peter Lee, Jeffrey Exterkate, Yang Liu, Kunal Lanjewar, Botao Hu

Publication number: 20240154711Abstract: A local multi-device fast space anchor point synchronization method for mixed reality includes any device located in the local space serves as a host to create a local network, and other devices join the local network as a guest; the guest and the host first exchange their respective local timestamps, and then calculate the time offset between the guest's local timestamp and the host's local timestamp to achieve time synchronization between the guest and the host; on the basis of time synchronization, the guest in the local network synchronizes the spatial coordinate system with the host through augmented reality picture tracking technology. Other guest can synchronize the spatial coordinate system with the host or synchronized guest to realize the spatial coordinate system synchronization between all devices in the local network. The synchronization method provided by the present application can use multi-person mixed reality applications without an external operator network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Botao HU, Yuchen Zhang

Patent number: 11709360Abstract: An imaging method is provided for a modular mixed reality (MR) device having an MR calculation module, an MR optical path module and an MR posture module. The MR calculation module is configured to adjust display content according to data from the MR posture module. The MR optical path module comprises a virtual-image optical path and a mixed optical path. A semi-transparent semi-reflective mirror is provided in the mixed optical path. One surface of the mirror is a real-image introduction surface facing a real environment, while the other is a virtual-image introduction surface facing the virtual-image optical path. Virtual-image light is reflected by the virtual-image introduction surface onto an observation end and mixed with real environment light transmitted to the observation end by the real-image introduction surface to form a mixed reality image.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2018Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: HOLO INTERACTIVE US, INC.Inventor: Botao Hu

Patent number: 9947230Abstract: A flight path of a physical aircraft vehicle is planned. A specification of a plurality of key locations within a virtual environment is received. A trajectory between the plurality of key locations is determined. A three-dimensional virtual preview of a flight on the trajectory is provided. Instructions for the physical aircraft vehicle to at least in part follow the trajectory is generated.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Amber Garage, Inc.Inventors: Botao Hu, Jiajie Zhang

Patent number: 9928649Abstract: A flight path of a physical aircraft vehicle is planned. A virtual three-dimensional model of a physical environment is provided. A placement indicator is tracked within the virtual three-dimensional model of the physical environment. Tracking the placement indicator includes tracking a location and an orientation of the placement indicator within the virtual three-dimensional model. A viewfinder display window that displays a simulated image captured from a simulated camera of a simulated vehicle located at the location of the placement indicator and oriented at a direction of the orientation of the placement indicator is provided. For the physical aircraft vehicle, at least a flight path and a camera image capture are planned using the placement indicator and the viewfinder display window within the virtual three-dimensional model.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Amber Garage, Inc.Inventors: Botao Hu, Jiajie Zhang
