Patent number: 10652041Abstract: An augmented-reality (AR) device detects a physical device located within a first predefined distance of the augmented-reality device. The AR device detects, using an optical sensor, a physical object located within a second predefined distance of the physical device, the physical object being electronically unconnected to the physical device. The AR device determines that the physical object is associated with the physical device and identifies a command based on an identification of both the physical object and the physical device. The physical device is configured to operate the command and display, in the display, virtual content as an overlay to the physical object.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: DAQRI, LLCInventor: Frank Chester Irving, Jr.

Patent number: 10564720Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) system includes an HMD device worn on a head of a user. The HMD device incorporates electroencephalography (EEG) interfaces for monitoring the brain of the human subject during interaction with the HMD device. Fluctuations in electrical potential that are observed via the EEG interfaces may be used to detect event-related potentials (ERPs). The HMD system may programmatically perform one or more operations in response to detecting ERPs.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: DAQRI, LLCInventors: Aylin Cimenser, Hani Awni, Frank Chester Irving, Jr., Stefanie A.

Patent number: 10489975Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) display application generates mapped visualization content overlaid on a real world physical environment. The AR display application receives sensor feeds, location information, and orientation information from wearable devices within the environment. A tessellation surface is visually mapped to surfaces of the environment based on a depth-based point cloud. A texture is applied to the tessellation surface and the tessellation may be viewed overlaying the surfaces of the environment via a wearable device.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: DAQRI, LLCInventors: Erick Mendez, Dominik Schnitzer, Bernhard Jung, Clemens Birklbauer, Kai Zhou, Kiyoung Kim, Daniel Wagner, Roy Lawrence Ashok Inigo, Frank Chester Irving, Jr., Brian Mullins, Lucas Kazansky, Jonathan Trevor Freeman

Publication number: 20180218545Abstract: A head-mounted viewing device determines a first spatial location of a hardware controller relative to a spatial location of the head-mounted viewing device in a local environment, and a second spatial location of the hardware controller relative to the position of the head-mounted viewing device in the local environment, the second spatial location being different than the first spatial location. The head-mounted viewing device determines, based on at least the first spatial location and the second spatial location, a spatial boundary within the local environment relative to the spatial location of the head-mounted viewing device, and causes presentation of the virtual content on a transparent display of the head-mounted viewing device based on the spatial boundary such that the virtual content appears to be present within the spatial boundary of the local environment to a user wearing the head-mounted viewing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2017Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: Christopher Michaels Garcia, Lucas Kazansky, Frank Chester Irving, JR.

Patent number: 9830395Abstract: A system and method for spatial data processing are described. Path bundle data packages from a viewing device are accessed and processed. The path bundle data packages identify a user interaction of the viewing device with an augmented reality content relative to and based on a physical object captured by the viewing device. The path bundle data packages are generated based on the sensor data using a data model comprising a data header and a data payload. The data header comprises a contextual header having data identifying the viewing device and a user of the viewing device. A path header having data identifies the path of the interaction with the augmented reality content. A sensor header having data identifies the plurality of sensors. The data payload comprises dynamically sized sampling data from the sensor data. The path bundle data packages are normalized and aggregated. Analytics computation is performed on the normalized and aggregated path bundle data packages.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: DAQRI, LLCInventors: Brian Mullins, Matthew Kammerait, Frank Chester Irving, Jr.

Publication number: 20170193705Abstract: An augmented reality device includes one or more sensors for imaging and/or detecting an environment and a transparent display for displaying virtual objects. The augmented reality device monitors various biometric attributes of a user and determines the user's location within the environment. The augmented reality device determines a virtual path from the user's location to a selected destination within the environment using the monitored biometric attributes as one or more constraints in the pathfinding determination. The determined virtual path is displayed on the transparent display as a virtual object such that it appears overlaid on the user's environment. The augmented reality device monitors the user as he or she traverses the virtual path through the environment, and updates the virtual path in response to changes in one or more of the user's monitored biometric attributes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventors: Brian Mullins, Matthew Kammerait, Frank Chester Irving, JR.
