  • Publication number: 20240119692
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting virtual content provided by an extended reality system. In some examples, a system determines a level of distraction of a user of the extended reality system due to virtual content provided by the extended reality system. The system determines whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than a threshold level of distraction, where the threshold level of distraction is determined based at least in part on one or more environmental factors associated with a real world environment in which the user is located. The system also adjusts one or more characteristics of the virtual content based on the determination of whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than the threshold level of distraction.

  • Patent number: 10806236
    Abstract: A carrying case for storing folding chairs, tents, and outdoor equipment. The carrying case includes a sidewall between a first end having an opening and a closed second end forming an interior volume. A collar is positioned at the first end and includes a channel that is coaxially aligned with the opening of the first end such that the equipment enters the interior volume through the channel of the collar and the opening. The collar further comprises a distal end having a first diameter that tapers to a smaller second diameter at a proximal end. In a foot recess embodiment, a foot recess forms a compartment on the sidewall that is adapted to receive a foot or toe of a user. In a foot flange embodiment, the carrying case includes a flange that extends about the second end that is adapted to receive a foot or toe of a user.
