  • Patent number: 12626450
    Abstract: A point cloud having occluded regions may be infilled with additional points by creating an infill mask and a synthesized representation, wherein the synthesized representation comprises generated information for points of the occluded regions. The infill mask and the synthesized representation may both be generated using a 2D version of the point cloud generated by rasterizing the 3D point cloud and respectively using a first and second machine learning techniques to generate the infill mask and the synthesized representation. Points identified in the occluded regions may be selected, matched with the information generated in the synthesized representation, and infilled into the point cloud.

  • Patent number: 12456271
    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to object manipulators and associated processes for manipulating an object representation in a three-dimensional environment. The object representation may correspond to a scan of a real-world object in a real-world environment. The object manipulators may include an object cleanup manipulator and a text annotation manipulator. The object cleanup manipulator may be selectable to display one or more control affordances providing functionality for selectively removing portions of the object representation in the three-dimensional environment and/or selectively adjusting one or more parameters of the object representation in the three-dimensional environment. The text annotation manipulator may be selectable to display one or more control affordances providing functionality for selectively generating one or more text labels in the three-dimensional environment.

  • Patent number: 12436619
    Abstract: A digital assistant may be used with a computer-generated environment. In some embodiments, a digital assistant is invoked and/or terminated via user input. In some embodiments, the digital assistant is displaying in a computer-generated environment. In some embodiments, the digital assistant may be used to interact with objects in a computer-generated environment. Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for a digital assistant provide an improved user experience for computer-generated environments.

  • Patent number: 12360747
    Abstract: Visual programming provides an efficient and intuitive user experience in an enhanced reality computer-generated environment. In some embodiments, a graphical representation of a programming structure is displayed in a computer-generated environment, and various interactions with the graphical representation of the programming structure are provided to define behavior of objects in a computer-generated environment. In some embodiments, the behavior of the object is defined by a trigger and an action. In some embodiments, the various interactions include adding one or more graphical representations of programming objects to the graphical representation of the programming structure, removing one or more graphical representations of programming objects from the graphical representation of the programming structure or from the computer-generated environment, and/or previewing the behavior defined by the graphical representation of the programming structure.
