  • Publication number: 20250111617
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to method for supervising a plurality of users of XR devices. A problem arises in that a supervisor hoping to assist a user in operating in the XR environment cannot easily obtain a representation of the XR environment which a particular user amongst the plurality of users is currently perceiving. The disclosure addresses this problem by having each XR device and a supervisory device independently determine the position of an XR device. Each XR device provides replica stream data in association with its position, and the user of the supervisory device selects an XR device by selecting its position. By tallying the position in the supervisor's selection of an XR device with the position associated with each replica stream, the replica stream of the XR device selected by the supervisor can be provided to the supervisory device.

  • Publication number: 20250104361
    Abstract: A virtual display visible via extended reality equipment (XR equipment) is controlled by user input to a physical controller that also controls a physical display. The physical controller may be a keyboard, a trackpad, a mouse, a joystick, a gaming controller, gaming console, or an appliance remote controller. The virtual display may be generated by a movement of a graphical user interface element on the physical display beyond a display area of the physical display or in other ways. The virtual display may be anchored to the physical display so as to move in response to movement of the physical device. A second virtual display may be similarly generated in response to further user input via the physical device and may be automatically positioned so as to be visible via the XR equipment on a same vertical plane or arc as the first virtual display.

  • Publication number: 20250076068
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for engaging navigation modes based on traffic events. For example, the disclosed system receives a request for navigating a user device from a start location to a final destination. The user device optionally indicates that turn-by-turn navigational directions are to be provided from an intermediate location to the final destination. The system determines all possible routes the user device can take from the start location to the intermediate location and, in some embodiments, from the intermediate location to the final destination. Once engaged, the system monitors the user device's progress from the start location to the intermediate location without displaying turn-by-turn navigation. During which time, the system notifies the user device of any traffic events that may impact the journey. When prompted, the system provides turn-by-turn navigational directions to bypass the traffic event.
