  • Patent number: 12776100
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dynamically generating and rendering custom virtual assets in a state-based XR journey through a physical space include a server computing device that identifies an XR headset device worn by a user and a physical environment in which the XR headset is located. The server generates a user-specific virtual experience based upon one or more of an identity of the user, an identity of objects in the physical environment, an identity of the physical environment, and a location of the XR headset within the physical environment. The server captures motion attributes associated with the XR headset and renders a virtual object in the virtual environment based at least in part on the motion attributes. The server determines a user response to the virtual object based upon user feedback signals recorded by the XR headset and adapts the user-specific virtual experience based upon the user response to the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 12769392
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dynamically generating and rendering a virtual reality environment adapted to features and constraints of a surrounding physical environment. A server captures features of (i) a physical environment in which a headset device is located and (ii) objects in the physical environment. The server generates a virtual environment that includes virtual objects based upon an identity of a user of the headset device, the physical environment features, and the physical object features. The server configures user interaction elements in the virtual environment based upon user behavior, user preferences, and features of the virtual environment. The server causes the headset device to render the virtual environment. The server detects an alert message and transforms the alert message based upon the user behavior, the user preferences, and the features of the virtual environment. The server causes the headset device to display the transformed alert message.
