Patent number: 11257292Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for augmenting a real-world object using a mixed reality device, involving capturing image data for a real-world object included in a physical space observed by the mixed reality device; automatically classifying the real-world object as being associated with an object classification based on the image data; automatically identifying a software application based on the real-world object being associated with the object classification; associating the software application with the real-world object; and executing the software application on the mixed reality device in association with the real-world object.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Carlos Fernando Faria Costa

Patent number: 10930075Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for interacting with a three-dimensional virtual environment, including receiving an input associated with a change in pose of a user's hand; estimating, based on at least the input, a first pose in the virtual environment for an input source associated with the hand; identifying a surface of a virtual object in the virtual environment; rendering a frame depicting elements of the virtual environment, the frame including a pixel rendered for a position on the surface; determining a distance between the position and a virtual input line extending through a position of the first pose and in a direction of the first pose; changing a pixel color rendered for the pixel based on the distance between the position and the virtual input line; and displaying the frame including the pixel with the changed pixel color to the user via a head-mounted display device.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Carlos Fernando Faria Costa, Mathew Julian Lamb, Brian Thomas Merrell

Patent number: 10573085Abstract: A mixed-reality display device comprises an input system, a display, and a graphics processor. The input system is configured to receive a parameter value, the parameter value being one of a plurality of values of a predetermined range receivable by the input system. The display is configured to display virtual image content that adds an augmentation to a real-world environment viewed by a user of the mixed-reality display device. The graphics processor is coupled operatively to the input system and to the display; it is configured to render the virtual image content so as to variably change the augmentation, to variably change a perceived realism of the real world environment in correlation to the parameter value.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Alex Kipman, Purnima M. Rao, Rebecca Haruyama, Shih-Sang Carnaven Chiu, Stuart Mayhew, Oscar E. Murillo, Carlos Fernando Faria Costa
