  • Publication number: 20150379770
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying objects, and performing a digital action with respect to the object in a mixed reality environment. Objects may be recognized by a processing unit receiving feedback from a head mounted display worn by a user in a number of ways. Once an object is identified, the digital action performed may be displaying additional information on the object, either on a virtual display slate or as a three-dimensional virtual representation.

  • Patent number: 8933884
    Abstract: In a motion capture system, a unitary input is provided to an application based on detected movement and/or location of a group of people. Audio information from the group can also be used as an input. The application can provide real-time feedback to the person or group via a display and audio output. The group can control the movement of an avatar in a virtual space based on the movement of each person in the group, such as in a steering or balancing game. To avoid a discontinuous or confusing output by the application, missing data can be generated for a person who is occluded or partially out of the field of view. A wait time can be set for activating a new person and deactivating a currently-active person. The wait time can be adaptive based on a first detected position or a last detected position of the person.
