Patent number: 10866820Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) webpage overlay. User input may be received from a user input device and in response to determining that the user input device is interacting with the 3D content, at least one of a plurality of render properties associated with of the 3D content may be modified. The at least one render property may be incrementally modified over a specified period of time, thereby animating modification of the at least one render property.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: ZSPACEInventors: Jonathan J.

Patent number: 10739936Abstract: Systems and methods for digitally drawing on virtual 3D object surfaces using a 3D display system. A 3D drawing mode may be enabled and a display screen of the system may correspond to a zero parallax plane of a 3D scene that may present a plurality of surfaces at non-zero parallax planes. User input may be received at a location on the display screen, and in response, a surface may be specified, rendered, and displayed at the zero parallax plane. Further, additional user input on the display screen may be received specifying drawing motion across the rendered and displayed surface. The drawing motion may start at the location and continue across a boundary between the surface and another contiguous surface. Accordingly, in response to the drawing motion crossing the boundary, the contiguous surface may be rendered and displayed at the zero parallax plane along with results of the drawing motion.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: Peter F. Ullmann, Clifford S. Champion

Patent number: 10701346Abstract: Systems and methods for replacing a 2D image with an equivalent 3D image within a web page. The 2D image displayed within a web page may be identified and a 3D image with substantially equivalent content may also be identified. The 3D image may be integrated into the web page as a replacement to the 2D image. Further, at least one user input manipulating the 3D image within the web page may be received. The at least one user input may include movement of a view point (or point of view) of a user relative to a display displaying the web page and/or detection of a beam projected from an end of a user input device (and/or an end of the user input device) intersecting with the 3D image.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: David A. Chavez, Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Clifford S. Champion, Alexandre R. Lelievre, Arthur L. Berman, Kevin S. Yamada

Patent number: 10701347Abstract: Systems and methods for replacing a 2D image with an equivalent 3D image within a web page. Content of a 2D image displayed within a web page may be identified and 3D images may be identified as possible replacements of the 2D image. The 3D images may be ranked based on sets of ranking criteria. A 3D image with a highest-ranking value may be selected based on a ranking of the 3D images. The selected 3D image may be integrated into the web page, thereby replacing the 2D image with the selected 3D image. Further, a user input manipulating the 3D image within the web page may be received. The user input may include movement of a view point of a user relative to a display displaying the web page and/or detection of a beam projected from an end of a user input device intersecting with the 3D image.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: David A.

Patent number: 10257500Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) webpage overlay. In some embodiments, user input may be received from a user input device and in response to determining that the user input device is not substantially concurrently interacting with the 3D content, interpret the user input based on a 2D mode of interaction. In addition, the user input may be interpreted based on a 3D mode of interaction in response to determining that the user input device is substantially concurrently interacting with the 3D content. The 2D mode of interaction corresponds to a first visual cursor, such as a mouse cursor, and the 3D mode of interaction corresponds to a second visual cursor, such as a virtual beam rendered to extend from a tip of the user input device.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J.
