Patents by Inventor Campbell Orme

Campbell Orme has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12217347
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating interactive avatars that can be pinned as world-locked artificial reality content. Once pinned, an avatar can interact with the environment according to contextual queues and rules, without active control by the avatar owner. An interactive avatar system can configure the avatar with action rules, visual elements, and settings based on user selections. Once an avatar is configured and pinned to a location by an avatar owner, when other XR devices are at that location, a central system can provide the avatar (with its configurations) to the other XR device. This allows a user of that other XR device to discover and interact with the avatar according to the configurations established by the avatar owner.

  • Patent number: 10930017
    Abstract: Particular embodiments may access one or more images configured to be used for generating an artificial reality (AR) effect. For each image, one or more compressed images may be generated using different compression settings, respectively. For each compressed image, a quality score may be computed based on that compressed image and the associated image from which the compressed image is generated. For each image, a desired quality threshold may be determined, and an optimal compression setting for that image may be determined based on the desired quality threshold and quality scores associated with the one or more compressed images generated from that image, wherein the optimal compression setting corresponds to one of the plurality of different compression settings. Each of the one or more images may be compressed using the associated optimal compression setting to generate and output one or more optimally-compressed images.
