Abstract: Extended reality auction techniques are described that support conducting live auctions in an extended reality environment, such as augmented or virtual reality environments. Image data, for instance, is received by a computing device from a first computing device depicting an item for auction. An extended reality auction system initiates an auction for the item based on identifying that at least part of the item is in the image data. The image data is provided to a second computing device for display in the extended reality environment during the auction. Responsive to determining that a criterion of the auction is not satisfied by the image data, remedial action is initiated by the extended reality auction system.

Abstract: Simulating interaction with an object represented in a virtual environment is disclosed. A system includes one or more circuits configured to receive an indicator of a sensed touch in a virtual environment and to determine, based on the indicator, an area of the sensed touch. The one or more circuits are further configured to generate a simulated touch by applying a field to one or more touch simulators, the field actuating the one or more touch simulators by linearly displacing an element of the one or more touch simulators. In implementations, the touch simulators are actuated based on data describing textures and weights of the object represented in the virtual environment.
