Publication number: 20230306690Abstract: Content is displayed to a user of augmented reality device. In response to receiving an indication of an increased level of risk, the degree of content being displayed to the user is reduced. The indication of increased level of risk may be generated by or received from an associated transportation device. The adjustment of the display of the degree of content may include moving one or more content elements out of a central field of view of the augmented reality device, reducing the size or visual characteristics of a content element, or eliminating a content element from the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Edmund Graves Brown, Benjamin Lucas, Jonathan M.

Publication number: 20230266857Abstract: Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and/or mixed reality (MR) systems may enable one or more users to connect two or more connectable objects together. These connectable objects may be real objects from the user's environment, virtual objects, or a combination thereof. A preview system may be included as a part of the VR, AR, and/or MR systems that provide a preview of the connection between the connectable objects prior to the user(s) connecting the connectable objects. The preview may include a representation of the connectable objects in a connected state along with an indication of whether the connected state is valid or invalid. The preview system may continuously physically model the connectable objects while simultaneously displaying a preview of the connection process to the user of the VR, AR, or MR system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Edmund Graves Brown, IV, Javier Antonio Busto, Jeffrey A.
