Patents by Inventor Dylan Charles Urquidi-Maynard

Dylan Charles Urquidi-Maynard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250117083
    Abstract: A method of smoothly transitioning between input devices with respect to a virtual reality environment is disclosed. A probable user input action is determined based on input data from a plurality of input devices. A best device is selected from the plurality of input devices based on a quality of a signal of the best device relative to qualities of signals of other devices of the plurality of input devices. Based on a determination that the selected best device is not the same as a previously selected best device from the plurality of devices, a transition between the previously selected device and the best selected device is determined and the transition is used to drive the probable user input action based on input data from the selected best device and input data from the previously selected best device.

  • Patent number: 11068067
    Abstract: A method for improving a display of a user interface element in a mixed reality environment is disclosed. A request to display the user interface element is received. The request includes display instructions, angle threshold data, distance threshold data, and velocity threshold data. Display operations are continuously performed while sensor data is continuously received from a mixed reality user interface device. The display operations include displaying the user interface element according to the display instructions, and, based on the sensor data indicating a distance between the user interface element and the mixed reality user interface device in the mixed reality environment has exceeded a distance threshold or based on the sensor data indicating an angle of view of the mixed reality user interface device has exceeded an angle threshold with respect to the user interface element in the mixed reality environment, hiding the user interface element.
