  • Publication number: 20240091422
    Abstract: A renal therapy system is disclosed. In an example, the renal therapy system includes a home renal therapy machine that stores, to a log file, dates of when renal therapies were performed and a type of each renal therapy that was performed. The system also includes a server that receives the log file from the home renal therapy machine. The server compares the dates and types of performed renal therapies stored in the log file to a device program that specifies dates for performing renal therapies and the types of renal therapies to be performed. The server displays a flag in a user interface of a clinician computer when there is a deviation from the comparison.

  • Patent number: 10510190
    Abstract: Embodiments that relate to interacting with a physical object in a mixed reality environment via a head-mounted display are disclosed. In one embodiment a mixed reality interaction program identifies an object based on an image from captured by the display. An interaction context for the object is determined based on an aspect of the mixed reality environment. A profile for the physical object is queried to determine interaction modes for the object. A selected interaction mode is programmatically selected based on the interaction context. A user input directed at the object is received via the display and interpreted to correspond to a virtual action based on the selected interaction mode. The virtual action is executed with respect to a virtual object associated with the physical object to modify an appearance of the virtual object. The modified virtual object is then displayed via the display.

  • Patent number: 9977882
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that relate to authenticating a user of a display device. For example, one disclosed embodiment includes displaying one or more virtual images on the display device, wherein the one or more virtual images include a set of augmented reality features. The method further includes identifying one or more movements of the user via data received from a sensor of the display device, and comparing the identified movements of the user to a predefined set of authentication information for the user that links user authentication to a predefined order of the augmented reality features. If the identified movements indicate that the user selected the augmented reality features in the predefined order, then the user is authenticated, and if the identified movements indicate that the user did not select the augmented reality features in the predefined order, then the user is not authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20170287219
    Abstract: A mixed reality system may comprise a head-mounted display (HMD) device with a location sensor from which the HMD device determines a location of the location sensor in space and a base station mounted a predetermined offset from the location sensor and configured to emit an electromagnetic field (EMF). An EMF sensor affixed to an object may be configured to sense a strength of the EMF. The HMD device may determine a location of the EMF sensor relative to the base station based on the sensed strength and determine a location of the EMF sensor in space based on the relative location, the predetermined offset, and the location of the location sensor in space. In some aspects, the HMD device may comprise a see-through display configured to display augmented reality images and overlay a hologram that corresponds to the location of the EMF sensor in space over time.
