  • Patent number: 12399574
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing may display an artificial reality environment to a user wearing an artificial reality device. The artificial reality environment may include at least a first virtual object. The computing system may monitor a motion of a first gesture performed by the user when interacting with the first virtual object. The computing system may determine, using a motion-stabilization profile of the user, a motional range associated with the user. The computing system may compare the motion of the first gesture performed by the user with the motional range associated with the user. The computing system may stabilize one or more second gestures performed by the user during subsequent user interactions in the artificial reality environment responsive to determining that the motion of the first gesture performed by the user exceeds the motional range.

  • Patent number: 11687165
    Abstract: A method includes displaying an artificial reality environment to a user, determining a context in which the user is interacting with the artificial reality environment, and determining, based on the context, that the user intends to use a hand gesture to interact with a target virtual object within the artificial reality environment. The method further includes monitoring, while the user is attempting to interact with the target virtual object, motional patterns of the hand gesture performed by the user with respect to the target virtual object, and generating a motion-stabilization profile associated with the user based on the motional patterns. The motion-stabilization profile is configured to be utilized to stabilize the hand gesture performed by the user during subsequent user interactions within the artificial reality environment.

  • Patent number: 11361512
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, through a head-mounted display (HMD), virtual objects to a user wearing the HMD. The method then accesses a boundary definition that corresponds to a boundary within a physical space surrounding the user and generates a plurality of spatial points based on depth measurements of physical objects within the physical space. Based on the spatial points, a location at which a physical object is likely to exist is determined. The method determines whether the location of the physical object is inside the boundary definition and, in response to this determination, issues an alert to the user.

  • Patent number: 10838515
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) system tracks the location and position of a controller using image sensors on a headset and a controller. The headset and controller provide a first and second view of a user's environment. Using its camera, the headset generates a map of the environment and identifies its location within it. Based headset's location, the VR system generates a simulated world of the environment and displays it to the user. The headset also estimates the location of the controller. Based on the estimated location, the headset sends a portion of the map to the controller. The controller determines its pose using the portion of the map, the image sensors, and additional sensors. The controller sends its pose and an updated portion of the map to the headset. Based on the controller's pose and updated portion of the map, the VR system modifies the content displayed to the user.
