Publication number: 20240061511Abstract: Embodiments of display control based on dynamic user interactions generally include capturing a plurality of temporally sequential images of the user, or a body part or other control object manipulated by the user, and computationally analyzing the images to recognize a gesture performed by the user. In some embodiments, the gesture is identified as an engagement gesture, and compared with reference gestures from a library of reference gestures. In some embodiments, a degree of completion of the recognized engagement gesture is determined, and the display contents are modified in accordance therewith. In some embodiments, a dominant gesture is computationally determined from among a plurality of user gestures, and an action displayed on the device is based on the dominant gesture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Ultrahaptics IP Two LimitedInventors: Raffi BEDIKIAN, Jonathan MARSDEN, Keith MERTENS, David HOLZ, Maxwell SILLS, Matias PEREZ, Gabriel HARE, Ryan JULIAN

Patent number: 11307282Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to determining positional information about an object of interest is provided. In particular, it includes, conducting scanning of a field of interest with an emission from a transmission area according to an ordered scan pattern. The emission can be received to form a signal based upon at least one salient property (e.g., intensity, amplitude, frequency, polarization, phase, or other detectable feature) of the emission varying with time at the object of interest. Synchronization information about the ordered scan pattern can be derived from a source, a second signal broadcast separately, social media share, others, or and/or combinations thereof). A correspondence between at least one characteristic of the signal and the synchronization information can be established. Positional information can be determined based at least in part upon the correspondence.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Ultrahaptics IP Two LimitedInventors: David S.

Patent number: 11243612Abstract: Embodiments of display control based on dynamic user interactions generally include capturing a plurality of temporally sequential images of the user, or a body part or other control object manipulated by the user, and computationally analyzing the images to recognize a gesture performed by the user. In some embodiments, a scale indicative of an actual gesture distance traversed in performance of the gesture is identified, and a movement or action is displayed on the device based, at least in part, on a ratio between the identified scale and the scale of the displayed movement. In some embodiments, a degree of completion of the recognized gesture is determined, and the display contents are modified in accordance therewith. In some embodiments, a dominant gesture is computationally determined from among a plurality of user gestures, and an action displayed on the device is based on the dominant gesture.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Ultrahaptics IP Two LimitedInventors: Raffi Bedikian, Jonathan Marsden, Keith Mertens, David Holz, Maxwell Sills, Matias Perez, Gabriel Hare, Ryan Julian
