Patent number: 10175492Abstract: A display device system providing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) displays in the same device and a method for switching between augmented reality and virtual reality modes in the embodiments of the device are disclosed. The system enables users to view an augmented reality setting, interact with objects, and switch to a virtual reality setting or vice versa without having to switch devices. When switching from virtual reality to augmented reality, a shuttering mechanism may open allowing the user to see the real environment within an augmented setting. Position on the user in the physical reality may be tracked relative to position of the user in the AR or VR. Some actions may be triggered based on the tracked location and orientation of the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: EON REALITY, INC.Inventors: Erbo Li, Dan Lejerskar, Yazhou Huang, Jan Kjallstrom, Mats Johansson

Patent number: 9685005Abstract: Systems and methods enabling users to interact with an augmented reality environment are disclosed. Real-world objects may have unique markers which are recognized by mobile devices. A mobile device recognizes the markers and generates a set of virtual objects associated with the markers in the augmented reality environment. Mobile devices employ virtual pointers and virtual control buttons to enable users to interact with the virtual objects. Users may aim the virtual pointer to a virtual object, select the virtual object, and then drag-and-drop the virtual object to a new location. Embodiments enable users to select, move, transform, create and delete virtual objects with the virtual pointer. The mobile device provides users with a means of drawing lines and geometrically-shaped virtual objects.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: EON REALITY, INC.Inventors: Jan Kjallstrom, Erbo Li, Yazhou Huang

Patent number: 9684369Abstract: An immersive virtual reality system for larger, theater-sized audiences is disclosed. The system enables multiple users to collaborate or work together as a group, or enable groups to compete. Users interact with the virtual reality system through the manipulation of handheld interactive devices. Each device has multiple lights forming a pattern. Tracking sensors monitor the handheld devices, and the system interprets the motions of the users and dynamically changes the virtual reality environment based on the motions of the users. The system may assign unique roles for users within a group.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: EON REALITY, INC.Inventors: Yazhou Huang, Jan Kjallstrom, Erbo Li, Mats Johansson

Publication number: 20160314624Abstract: A display device system providing augmented reality and virtual reality displays in the same device and a method for switching between augmented reality and virtual reality modes in the embodiments of the device are disclosed. The system enables users to view an augmented reality setting, interact with objects, and switch to a virtual reality setting or vice versa without having to switch devices. Some embodiments may include a shuttering mechanism that blocks light from an ambient environment when switching from the augmented reality mode to the virtual reality mode so that ambient light or objects do not interrupt the virtual reality landscape. When switching from virtual reality to augmented reality, the shuttering mechanism may open allowing the user to see the real environment within an augmented setting.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: EON REALITY, INC.Inventors: Erbo LI, Dan LEJERSKAR, Yazhou HUANG, Jan KJALLSTROM, Mats JOHANSSON
