Patent number: 9841821Abstract: In some embodiments, a system and/or method may assess handedness of a user of a system in an automated manner. The method may include displaying a 3D image on a display. The 3D image may include at least one object. The method may include tracking a position and an orientation of an input device in open space in relation to the 3D image. The method may include assessing a handedness of a user based on the position and the orientation of the input device with respect to at least one of the objects. In some embodiments, the method may include configuring at least a portion of the 3D image based upon the assessed handedness. The at least a portion of the 3D image may include interactive menus. In some embodiments, the method may include configuring at least a portion of an interactive hardware associated with the system based upon the assessed handedness.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: Jerome C. Tu, Carola F. Thompson, Mark F. Flynn, Douglas C. Twilleager, David A. Chavez, Kevin D. Morishige, Peter F. Ullmann, Arthur L. Berman

Patent number: 9342917Abstract: In some embodiments, a system and/or method may include accessing three-dimensional (3D) imaging software on a remote server. The method may include accessing over a network a 3D imaging software package on a remote server using a first system. The method may include assessing, using the remote server, a capability of the first system to execute the 3D imaging software package. The method may include displaying an output of the 3D imaging software using the first system based upon the assessed capabilities of the first system. In some embodiments, the method may include executing a first portion of the 3D imaging software using the remote server based upon the assessed capabilities of the first system. In some embodiments, the method may include executing a second portion of the 3D imaging software using the first system based upon the assessed capabilities of the first system.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: David A. Chavez, Jerome C. Tu, Carola F. Thompson, Mark F. Flynn, Douglas C. Twilleager, Kevin D. Morishige, Peter F. Ullmann, Arthur L. Berman
